Abstract

This paper analizes the succesive contacts between the Yuracarés and the white population of the Chapare Tropical. This transit region attracted the interest of the white people for different reasons (economic, religious and military), and even though tha national society tried several times, it could not completely dominate the natives until the first decades of this century.
