Tarija City Tour

At the agreed time, we'll pick you up from your hotel to begin a tour of Tarijá's most emblematic spots and its ancient civilization.

We will start with a visit to Luis de Fuentes square, where we will discuss 16th century Tarija. The viceroy of Peru ordered the establishment of an assent by captain Luis de Fuentes and Vargas for defense against the chiriguano indigenous people. The origins of Tarija extend to pre-Incan times with indigenous tribes such as the Moyos Moyos, JuJuyes, and Juríes.

Next, we'll walk to the Cathedral of San Bernado, founded by Jesuits.

Our next stop is the Casa Dorada or Golden Home, an emblematic building in art nouveau style, which houses Tarija's Casa de la Cultura. Following this, we'll visit the church of San Francisco, founded in 1606, one of the city's oldest monuments containing over 1500 historically significant books.

We will then visit the Paleontological Museum of Tarija, where giant dinosaur and mammal fossils are displayed, including fossils of dinosaurs, mammals, sloths, armadillos, and a mammoth.

Before concluding the tour, we'll stop at the New Central Market. After 4 to 5 hours of touring, you'll be returned to your Tarija hotel.
