Send Flowers to Tarija, Bolivia

Tarija feels closer to the Mediterranean than to the Andes. Set in a mild valley in the south of Bolivia, it is the home of the country's vineyards and of the chapacos, people known for unhurried manners, guitars and long lunches. Life centres on Plaza Luis de Fuentes, the banks of the Guadalquivir river and neighbourhoods that stretch towards San Lorenzo and the wine estates of the Valle Central.

Relatives in Argentina, Spain and the United States send flowers to Tarija for birthdays, for Mother's Day on 27 May and during the Fiesta de San Roque, which begins in mid August and carries into September. Students of the Universidad Autónoma Juan Misael Saracho receive graduation bouquets too. A local florist delivers the same day, Monday to Saturday, when the order is in before 11:00 am Tarija time, and the next day otherwise, with no Sunday rounds. Summer afternoons are hot, so ask the recipient to keep the flowers in the shade.
