Send Flowers to Punata, Bolivia

Punata is the market town of Cochabamba's Valle Alto, the broad upper valley east of the city. Farmers from the surrounding communities bring produce to its weekly fair, and the town is known across the department for its rosquetes, its chicha and a tradition of emigration from Bolivia: for decades punateños have left for Argentina, the United States and Spain, building houses back home with what they earn.

Those emigrants are the reason flower delivery in Punata matters. A son in Virginia or a daughter in Madrid can have a bouquet handed to a mother on 27 May, or flowers delivered for a wedding, a baptism or the days of Todos Santos, when families honour their dead. The florist delivers the same day, Monday to Saturday, if the order is placed before 11:00 am local time, and the following day if it comes later; Sundays are not available. Write the neighbourhood, a landmark and the family's phone number.
