Plan your journey

Tell us three things and we will do the rest.

When you can travel, how many of you there are, and what you like to drink. That is genuinely enough to start.

The enquiry

Start here.

Common questions

The six people always ask.

Anything not here, just ask. We would rather answer twice than have you guess.

When should I come?

February to April is harvest — the valleys are at their most alive and the light is extraordinary, but it also rains. April to October is dry, mild and much easier for road travel, which matters if Cinti is on your list.

How do I get to Tarija?

Daily flights from Santa Cruz and La Paz, both about an hour. Most guests connect through Santa Cruz. We meet you at the airport and the transfer is part of the route.

Will the altitude affect me?

Tarija sits at 1,850 m, which almost nobody feels. Cinti reaches 3,000 m in places and a few people notice it on the first afternoon. We climb gradually and there is always a day of margin.

Can I ship wine home?

Yes, and most people end up doing it. We handle the paperwork with a freight agent in Santa Cruz; a twelve-bottle case to Europe or North America usually lands within four to six weeks.

Do you take people who do not drink much?

Often. Half of the route is landscape, food and the people who make things. Nobody is counted, and every tasting has somewhere to pour.

What does a journey cost?

A one-day experience starts at USD 210 per person; the four-day Tarija route from USD 1,450; the twelve-day crossing from USD 4,900. Everything on the route is included except international flights and insurance.
