Tarija. A very traditional town in the South of Bolivia, not very touristy but definitely worth a visit! It is a town not just rich in gas (86 % of gas reserve of the whole Bolivia), but mostly rich in history, culture and traditions, together with its landscape. And also agriculture – milk, cheese, fruit, […]
