Southern Bolivia: from Villazón to Tupiza
The small border town of Villazón is the main crossing from the Argentinian town of la Quiaca across the Villazón river into Bolivia. From there the road leads north towards Potosí, the capital of the Department with the same name. It leads through Tupiza, a friendly town and capital of the Sud Chichas Province within the Potosí Department at an elevation of about 3160 m with a population of about 23,000.
It is an attractive place along the Río Tupiza with plenty of opportunities for hikes in the countryside or up the hill at Corazón de Jesus for a view of the town.
