Un peu plus de photos de Tarija... en fait nous sommes allés visiter une parcelle d'origan dans un lieu incroyable... Jean-Christophe en défriserait!!!

Je suis allée à Tarija pour visiter les installations de la UNEC à cet endroit et aussi pour participer à une réunion avec tout le monde pour la révision du site web de la UNEC (www.unec.com.bo pour le moment c'est pas fameux). J'étais supposée y aller en avion mais nous sommes finalement allé en voiture (10hrs) car le ciel était couvert et dan...

This is home of the Bolivian wine and has the highest wineyard in the world here. We had a shocker of a bus ride here, getting in a 6 am after having a bus, which was a semi cama and only costing about $10Aus each for a 10 hour bus ride is never a good thing. The bus stopped all the time, we were front seat, so every time someone got on or off, ...

A 1870 metres d'altitude, proche de la frontiere argentine, la plus grande ville du sud. Agreable cite coloniale au parfum d'Andalousie, entre les orangers et le Guadalquivir local. Tranquille presque endormie, c'est la region viticole de la Bolivie (mmmmhmhmhmhmh). Avec son grand marche de legumes et de fruits... c'est un vrais plaisir de parco...

today´s the second and last day in tarija. its quite sad because its a nice place. i´d love to come back here some day. i packed my backpack up for the millionth time, and i´m still no better at it. to be fair, i´m not being too meticulous bacuse i know it will all be thrown on another flowery bed spread in some hostal within 24hrs. i was up, sh...

well we arrived in tarija at 430am from a pretty scary bus journey across some pretty scary mountain range that shot almost vertically up one side and dropped down into darkness on the other. It was a good job i was so tired and slept most of the journey because the glimpses that i did catch in between snoozes were enough to get my nerves on edg...

Why oh why do the buses to Tarija only go overnight??? Apparently it´s an amazing road to travel along but all I caught were glimpses of very steep drops at the edge of very tight bends (maybe it´s just as well I couldn´t see all the way to the bottom then?) The driver was excellent (I guess all the ones that stay alive must be) but he wasn´t av...

"Are you getting too old for these adventures?" Paul asked, turning toward me from his bus seat next to mine. "What do you mean?" I replied, puzzled. "Well, we're starting an 18 hour bus trip." He failed to mention there was no toilet aboard. "Paul, we'll find out soon." The trip was sentimental for me, I shed some tears as we left our Tarija fr...

God feels more present here. It was a day of miracles. We arose at 5 AM to journey the 3 hours to Tarija City to investigate building materials for the center at Narvaez (naar VICE). There were a lot of unknowns in this purchase. We knew what we needed, but not where to find it or how to get it to Narvaez, a 2 hour trip from Tarija. By the middl...

Arrived in Tarija in the South of Bolivia - we came here because we had been told that it is the Andalucia of South America (slightly dubious!). Anyway its at a much lower altitude than most of the tourist spots here so the weather was pretty good - although plenty of tropical rainfall every day - the waterproofs were on most of the time. Tarija...
