What used to be a remote pueblito on the outskirts of Cochabamba is now just part of the urban growing center of Cochabamba. The road to Tiquipaya used to be kilometers and kilometers of open spaces, but gradually it was all filled in by concrete, brick and mortar. Tiquipaya is quechua for “Place of the Flowers”. Even though it’s no longer the quiet rural village that it once was, it is still a getaway from the noise and bustle of Cochabamba.
Approaching Tiquipaya, the cholita is a recognizable landmark that was moved during the construction of the Avenue extending from Av. Simon Lopez.

I have just purchased a small house in Tiquipaya more accurately in a place named Encantopampa.
I went to visit my relatives last year in October and fell in love with the idea of having a place near the mountains and Tiquipaya seemed to be just the place. The truth is that I dont know much about the area and how it is /or not developing, but I would welcome any information that you could provide on Tiquipaya and the surrounding communities.
Looking forward your reply,
Sincerely,
Ana Maria Antezana
