Capinota Province

 

This pleasant valley is located 60 Km. from the city of Cochabamba, roughly a two hour bus journey. Capinota’s inhabitants guard many esoteric regional traditions and maintain a vibrant indigenous culture. Capinota is known as the cradle of guarapo (a fermented grape drink) and production runs from March to April producing a smooth drink that bolsters the pride of local growers. Capinota is home to Bolivia’s most popular music group, Los Kjarkas. Capinota holds innumerable archeological sites and pottery shards and attest to a strong pre-Colombian civilization in the area. Capinota’s other attractions include Sarcobamba, Apillapampa, P’usa P’usa, Irpa Irpa and more.
