Huacaraje (or Guacaraje) is a municipality and locality in Bolivia, located in the Iténez province in the Beni Department.
According to historian Saúl Suárez Medina in his work "Almanaque Oriental", this town was founded on November 29, 1800, with 80 families from the Itonama ethnic group by Ramón Velarde, the corregidor of Magdalena at the time, as a resting point for travelers covering the 14 leagues between Magdalena and Baures.
The main economic activity is livestock farming, and due to the sandy loam soil, subsistence agriculture is also practiced.
There is also subsistence craftwork such as weaving hammocks, making hats, wood crafts, and other ethnic-origin activities like hunting, fishing, and gathering wild fruits, including cocoa.
Besides the urban area (2,300 inhabitants), it has 3 communities: Jessica Jordan, Miss Bolivia and a two-time candidate for the governorship of Beni, was born and spent her childhood in this municipality.
