Bolivia's Southern Altipano
Cochabamba
Perched comfortably in the middle of Bolivia, lies one of the most welcoming cities in the country. Marked by the towering Cristo de la Concordia that welcomes visitors into its many charms, Cochabamba possesses a unique harmony unlike any other found within Bolivia. The city lies in a fertile green bowl set in a landscape of fields and low hills, and enjoys a clement climate, making it a very livable city. The area’s rich coil yields abundant crops of maize, barley, wheat, alfalfa and orchard and citrus fruits, while downtown, the wide avenues are alive with the sounds of lively bars and the smells of numerous culinary flavors.
Browse the quaint streets and enjoy the eternal spring-like climate, or engage with the locals, some of the friendliest and welcoming in all the country. For a true cultural delight head to the outskirts of the city, where you will find the tiny villages of the neighboring valleys and the fine markets boasting treasures unmatched.
