Los hoteles de campo y el transporte de lana en la conformación del espacio rural del NO del Territorio Nacional de Santa Cruz (1880-1950)

This work provides an overview of country hotels and wool transportation in the conformation of the rural area of the NW of the National Territory of Santa Cruz (TNSC) since 1880 to 1950. The analysis of “Riera”, “Las Horquetas”, “Olnie” and “Bajo Caracoles” -old hotels in the region- history is revealing of a dynamic rural world, with an intense social life, in a region that until now historiography had been characterized as an unoccupied and marginal space to the great centers of economic activity in the National Territory of Santa Cruz.
