Send Flowers to Camiri, Bolivia

Camiri calls itself Bolivia's oil capital. The town grew up around the wells of the state petroleum company in the foothills of the Chaco, in the south of the Santa Cruz department, and oil workers, soldiers from the local garrison and Guaraní communities from the surrounding Cordillera province have shaped its character. The Parapetí river runs beside it, and the heat for much of the year is intense.

Younger camireños tend to leave for university or work in Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and from there or from abroad they order flowers for the parents and grandparents who stayed. Flower delivery in Camiri is available the same day, Monday to Saturday, for orders placed before 11:00 am local time, with next-day delivery after the cut-off and no deliveries on Sunday. Given the distance from the big flower markets, the florist may swap individual stems for others of equal or higher value in the same colours. A morning delivery request is sensible in this climate.
