In 1990, UNESCO awarded the title of World Cultural Heritage to six towns in Chiquitos as "living towns", because unlike other ancient Jesuit towns that only have ruins left, in Chiquitos their beautiful churches, musical scores, customs, clothing, festivals, ceremonies, instrument-making, and in many of them the musical tradition are still preserved.
