This tour of Tarija will allow us to discover the ancient past of the city, from a time in which it inhabited dinosaurs and mammals to its colonial era. The most complete historical adventure!
At the agreed time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in order to kickstart a tour that will enable us to adventure through Tarijá's most emblematic spots as well as teleport you to a land of an ancient civilization.
Welcome to one of Bolivia's southern historical cities!
We'll begin our journey with a visit to Luis de Fuentes square, where we'll offer a detailed walkthrough of 16th century Tarija. The viceroy of Peru ordered captain Luis de Fuentes and Vargas to establish an assent in which it was stated that this location is the centre point of defence from the chiriguano indigenous people. However, the origins of Tarija extend much further. Did you know that during the pre-Incan era the land was inhabited by indigenous tribes such as the Moyos Moyos, JuJuyes as well as the Juríes?
In order to continue our historical adventure, we'll walk towards the Cathedral of San Bernado, founded by Jesuits.
Our next stop will bring us to the Casa Dorada or Golden Home, an emblematic building with an art nouveau style that is currently home to Tarija's Casa de la Cultura. Shortly after, we'll reach the church of San Francisco. Founded in 1606, it's by far one of the city´s oldest monuments and holds a library containing more than 1500 books of great historical importance.
The next stop will transport us to the Paleontological Museum of Tarija, a place where giant dinosaur and mammal fossils are kept. Here, we'll explore the halls of this impressive building in order to see dinosaur, mammal, sloth and armadillo fossils. And even an enormous mammoth!
Before ending the tour, we'll visit the New Central Market. After 4 to 5 hours of touring, you'll be brought back to your Tarija hotel.
