Germán Busch is a province in the Santa Cruz Department, Bolivia.[1] Most of the surface is covered by the Pantanal, the largest wetland area in the world.
The province was founded on 30 November 1984 by rearranging the provinces of Ángel Sandoval and Chiquitos. It is named after Germán Busch, a former Bolivian military officer and president of Bolivia who is regarded as a war hero for his role in the Chaco War between Bolivia and Paraguay.
