The village is located at an altitude of 3517  m in the Cordillera de Sama Biological Reserve on the left, western bank of the Río Tomayapo , which flows downstream into the Río San Juan del Oro .

The climate is cool and dry because of the inland location and is characterized by a typical daytime climate, in which the mean temperature fluctuations between day and night are usually significantly greater than the seasonal fluctuations.

The annual average temperature is 11 ° C (see Yunchará climate diagram) and fluctuates only slightly between a good 6 ° C in June / July and a good 14 ° C from November to March. The annual precipitation is just under 400 mm, with a strongly pronounced dry season from April to October with monthly precipitation below 15 mm, and a humidity period from December to February with 80–95 mm monthly precipitation.

Transport network

Campanario lies at a distance of 64 kilometers by road west of Tarija , the capital of the department of the same name.

From Tarija the highway Ruta 1 leads north, pierces the Cordillera de Sama in a north-westerly direction and continues via the village of San Lorencito to Camargo , Padcoyo and Potosí . In San Lorencito, a dirt road branches off in a southerly direction and reaches Iscayachi after a further eleven kilometers. From there the road transferred Campanario further south, passing through Pampa de Tajzara with the salt lakes Laguna Tajzara and Laguna Grande , and then turning south of the Laguna Grande to the west, reaching over Yunchará the Ruta 14 , of Villazón on the Argentinian border leads to the provincial capital Tupiza and on to Potosí.
