Villa Albina Estate located in Pairumani, west of Cochabamba on the slope of the Cordillera Tunari. Built by once tin magnate Simon Patino, this home is still owned by his descendants whom live in France now but visit regularly and hold functions at this estate.
The Cochabamba Valley nestled between the Andes and the Santa Cruz basin was once the breadbasket for the entire country.
