Abstract:—The Sierra (Serrania) de Santiago in Bolivia is an extended mountain range that begins 360 km east of the city of Santa Cruz de la Sierra and rises as a single mountain range over the vast lowlands of the northern Gran Chaco. This lowland, which occupies a large part of the state of Santa Cruz, is bordered in the west by the foothills of the Andes and extends at an average height of 350 m above sea level far beyond the border with Brazil. There, it merges into the wetlands of the Pantanal in the Brazilian state of Mato Grosso.
