Explore Tarija

Five chapters of one easy weekend in Tarija: shape a slow half-day around the Plaza Luis de Fuentes with Doña Elsa, read a bodega-visit flyer on the Ruta del Vino and ask what a visit includes, learn to turn down a drink warmly with no excuse needed and a juice always on offer, order the saice and linger over the plaza sobremesa, and take a calm countryside taxi day out to the valley, asking every step, the pace unhurried, and never a road called safe or dangerous.

A glass of mosto, the last light 🍇
  1. Shape an easy plan

    Start at Doña Elsa’s guesthouse by asking for a relaxed half-day, quiero un plan tranquilo, ¿qué me recomienda?, whether the Plaza Luis de Fuentes is close and walkable, and what time to head out and come back, always asked, never assumed.

  2. An easy half-day← You are here

    Just arrived in Tarija, ask Doña Elsa for an easy half-day, is the Plaza Luis de Fuentes close and walkable, and what time to head out.

    Start chapter 1

  3. The wine and singani route

    Read a bodega flyer on the Ruta del Vino and ask what the visit includes, the tour, the tasting, the non-alcohol option, and the return time.

  4. Thanks, I won’t be drinking

    On the bodega tour the tasting arrives, decline warmly with no excuse needed, ask for a juice, and enjoy the visit just as much.

  5. Saice and sobremesa on the plaza

    Read a plaza-café lunch board with Doña Elsa, meet the saice tarijeño, order warmly, and linger over the sobremesa before paying calmly.

  6. Out to the valley

    Arrange a countryside taxi day with don Julián, settle the ida y vuelta fare, ask if he waits or comes back, and ask the road and return time.

  7. Out to the valley, warm and calm

    Finish having learned to decline a drink warmly with no excuse needed, ordered the saice and lingered over the plaza sobremesa, and arranged a countryside taxi day out to the valley, settling the ida y vuelta fare and asking whether the driver waits or comes back.
