geography
La Parroquia is located in the south-eastern part of the barren plateau of the Bolivian Altiplano .

The pronounced dry season lasts more than half of the year.
The mean average temperature of the region is around 18 ° C (see climate diagram Las Carreras) and fluctuates over the course of the year between almost 14 ° C in June / July and 21 ° C in January. The annual precipitation is hardly more than 400 mm, whereby the monthly precipitation in the dry season is less than 20 mm and only in the southern winter reaches values of almost 100 mm.
