TJA is the airport code for Capitan Oriel Lea Plaza Airport, serving the city of Tarija in the far south of Bolivia. Tarija is a graceful, sunny valley city with a mild climate and a strong Andalusian and Spanish colonial flavour, whose people, the Chapacos, are known for their music and festivals. Above all, Tarija is the heart of Bolivia's wine country: the surrounding valleys, especially around the village of Valle de la Concepcion, are covered in vineyards producing high-altitude wines and singani, the national grape brandy, and can be toured along a wine route. The region is also known for fossil finds and dinosaur footprints. Set lower than the Andean highlands, it is an easy contrast to La Paz or Potosi. It is reached by domestic flights to its airport and by long road journeys across the south. The climate is mild, with a warm, wetter summer and dry, sunny winters.
