Camila Zenteno has been presented as the new Queen of Santa Cruz, opening a month of celebrations in the Bolivian city. Mayor Manuel “Mamén” Saavedra introduced her on Sept. 1 at the central municipal building beside Sept. 24 Square.
The ceremony followed formal events, including the raising of flags, that marked the start of September, one of the region’s most important months. Zenteno is 25 and holds a degree in business administration as well as a postgraduate diploma in higher education.
Her new role will involve representing Santa Cruz and serving as an ambassador for its customs and traditions. Before learning that she had been chosen, Zenteno said the title meant more than wearing a sash. She described it as an opportunity to convey pride in the identity and traditions of her homeland.
Her coronation will take place on Sept. 23 at El Arenal Park, where the region will be honored with a serenade.
