Earning the titles ‘City of Eternal Spring’ and ‘The Garden City’ due to its constant spring temperatures all year Cochabamba, a city inhabited for over a thousand years has become one of Bolivia’s most socially and economically progressive cities. An active and enthralling night life known through Bolivia centers around Calle España and along the beautiful tree lined boulevard El Parado. Cochabamba featured in the 80’s classic Scarface, the true story of the infamous Tony Montana who had his cocaine shipped from the plantations here in The Garden City. Many famous story’s surround Cochabamba including The Black Widow, a beautiful figure woman appearing to taxi drivers at night and asking to be taken to the cemetery. Once out of the car her coins transform to bloody fingers. I’d be careful who I share a taxi with while in the direction of the cemetery! Ghost stories are in abundance through the city and you will hear many tell tales of apparitions, devices turning on and off and the occasional feeling of being grabbed. Cochabamba can promise you’ll never feel alone! From the bustling and colorful main market La Cancha to the awe-inspiring views offered by a walk to Christo de la Concordia at 2800m (The second largest of its kind in the world), we invite you to dine, tour, and make time for one of Bolivia’s most intriguing destinations. Feel the real Bolivia.
