Tarija, in the south of the country, enjoys a mild, sunny climate that sets it clearly apart from the rest of Bolivia. Known as “Bolivia’s Andalusia” for its almost Mediterranean landscape, it is the capital of one of South America’s most surprising wine regions.
Not far away, the Valle de Cinti is home to vineyards planted above 2,000 meters in altitude, among the highest in the world. Local bodegas produce unique wines and spirits, the result of a dry microclimate and intense sun exposure.
Tarija is the birthplace of singani, Bolivia’s Denomination of Origin grape spirit, often served in the famous chuflay cocktail. Visits to the historic distilleries offer a chance to discover a food and wine heritage little known outside the country.
The region lends itself to slow travel, with wine tastings, rolling hillside scenery and traditional festivals tied to the grape harvest, in a corner of Bolivia far from the more crowded tourist trails.
For lovers of wine tourism and unexpected landscapes, Tarija and the Valle de Cinti are a surprising discovery in Bolivia!
