Location in the vicinity

Pasajes is a place in the canton of Copacabana in the municipality of Yunchará in the province of José María Avilés . The village is located at an altitude of 3668  m in the Cordillera de Sama Biological Reserve, east of the north-south ridge of the Cordillera de Sama and three kilometers south of Laguna Tajzara , a lake threatened by climate change and agriculture.

geography
