Location in the vicinity

geography
Carachimayo is located on the south-eastern edge of the plateau of the Bolivian Altiplano on the transition to the lowlands. Because of the inland location, the climate is dry for more than half of the year, but far less harsh than the plateau and has a typical daytime climate, in which the temperature fluctuations between day and night are usually significantly greater than the seasonal fluctuations (see climate diagram Tarija).
The annual average temperature of the region is 19 ° C and fluctuates only slightly between 15 ° C in June / July and 22 ° C from December to February (see Tarija climate diagram). The annual precipitation is about 550 mm, with a strongly pronounced dry season from April to October with monthly precipitation below 30 mm, and a humidity period from December to February with over 100 mm monthly precipitation.
