geography
Huarina is located on the Bolivian Altiplano on the east bank of Lake Titicaca, between the Andean mountain ranges of the Cordillera Occidental in the west and the Cordillera Central in the east. The climate in the Huarina area is derived from the altitude on the Altiplano and the proximity to the large body of water of Lake Titicaca, which mitigates temperature fluctuations.

The annual average temperature is 11 ° C (see climate diagram Achacachi), with the monthly average in the coldest month (July) at 8 ° C only slightly deviating from the warmest month (November to March) at 12 ° C. The climate is arid from June to August with only sporadic rainfall, and it is humid in the summer months, especially from December to March, with monthly rainfall of more than 100 mm. The annual precipitation is around 600 mm.
