Caraparí is a town in the Tarija Department in the South American Andean state of Bolivia .
Location in the vicinity
Caraparí is the central place of the district ( Bolivian : Municipio ) Caraparí in the southwestern part of the Gran Chaco province . The village is located on the upper reaches of the Río Caraparí at an altitude of 823 m between the ridge of the Serranía Aguaragüe in the east and the Serranía Itaú in the west, 40 kilometers northwest of the city of Yacuiba .
geography
Caraparí is located on the southeastern edge of the Bolivian Andes chain in the lowlands of the subtropical Gran Chaco , which stretches over northwest Paraguay , northeast Argentina and southeast Bolivia. The climate is subtropical with hot humid summers and moderately warm and dry winters.
The annual average temperature is almost 22 ° C, the average monthly values fluctuate between 15 ° C in June / July and 26 ° C in January (see Yacuiba climate diagram). Annual precipitation is just under 1100 mm, with a four-month dry season from June to September with monthly precipitation below 15 mm and a humidity period from December to March with 160–200 mm monthly precipitation.
population
The population of Caraparí has increased several times over in the past two decades:
| year | Residents | source |
|---|---|---|
| 1992 | 490 | census |
| 2001 | 1 074 | census |
| 2013 | 3,549 | census |
The fate of the place has been closely tied to the rise and fall of natural gas production in the region over the past few years . Since the decline in gas production from San Alberto, there are hardly any regular jobs in the region, which also affects service providers such as restaurants.

Caraparí is located at a distance of 241 kilometers by road east of Tarija , the capital of the department.
The Ruta 29 trunk road runs through Caraparí, heading north to Palos Blancos , where it meets Ruta 11 . This leads 173 kilometers to the west and meets the Ruta 1 eight kilometers before Tarija , which from there crosses the entire Altiplano to the north and finally reaches Desaguadero on the Peruvian border via the large cities of Potosí , Oruro and El Alto .
In an easterly direction, the Ruta 29 leads to Campo Pajoso , 23 kilometers away , where it meets the Ruta 9 lowland highway . This leads from Yacuiba on the Argentine border in the south via the metropolis of Santa Cruz all the way north to the city of Guayaramerín in the Beni lowlands on the Brazilian border.
In a southerly direction, the Ruta 33 leads 169 kilometers from Caraparí to Bermejo on the Argentine border and is from there connected to the northern Argentine cities of Aguas Blancas and Pichanal via the Ruta Nacional 50 .
