## GEOLOCALIZACIÓN: Sacaba, Bolivia — a precise map point in the Cochabamba region

“GEOLOCALIZACIÓN: SACABA, BOLIVIA” is presented in your dataset as a Historical landmark tied to a Plus Code-style address and exact GPS coordinates:

– Plus Code / address string: JW9H+JRQ, Cochabamba, Bolivia
– Coordinates: -17.380919, -66.0703955
– City/area: Sacaba (Cochabamba Department)
– Dataset rating: 3.3

This same name also appears as a “landmark” entry in at least one travel booking directory’s landmark list (used for filtering/searching), which is a clue that you may be dealing with a geotagged point-of-interest label rather than a universally recognized, formally interpreted heritage site.

What is fully verifiable—and useful for travelers—is the where: the pin sits in/around Sacaba, a city and municipality in Chapare Province within Bolivia’s Cochabamba Department, about 13 km east of Cochabamba (the city), and at an elevation of ~2,719 m according to commonly cited references.

## Where you are: Sacaba in administrative and geographic context

From widely used reference summaries:

– Elevation is commonly listed as 2,719 m.
– A commonly cited urban population figure is 149,570 (2012 census)—useful for scale, but dated.

## A concise, sourced history note that adds meaning to the pin

If you want to understand “historical landmark” in a way that’s grounded locally, the municipal government’s history page is the most direct reference point I can cite.

Key statements from the Gobierno Autónomo Municipal de Sacaba history narrative (paraphrased, not quoted):

– The municipality describes a “third and definitive” foundation on 29 June 1761, under the name “Villa de San Pedro de Sacaba.”
– The same account links that 1761 foundation to the layout of a plaza known today as “6 de Agosto.”
– The municipal history page also notes Sacaba’s role as a transit and exchange point and references the temple of San Pedro associated with the central plaza area.
– In its republican-period timeline, the municipal history states that on 10 June 1854 Sacaba became capital of the province Chapare, and that in 1905 it reached city rank.

These details don’t prove what (if anything) is marked at JW9H+JRQ, but they do give you historically anchored context for why Sacaba matters in the region’s settlement and administrative story.

## What a Plus Code is (and why this listing uses one)

Plus Codes (also known as Open Location Code) are a short code derived from latitude/longitude that can function like an address—especially useful where street addressing is incomplete or inconsistent. Google’s Plus Codes information explicitly describes them as location codes based on latitude/longitude, and Google’s help pages explain how to search and share them in Maps.

The underlying system is open source (Open Location Code), with reference implementations published by Google.

For travelers, the practical takeaway is simple: you can navigate to JW9H+JRQ the same way you’d navigate to a street address—by searching it in Google Maps. Help

## How to visit the exact point (two reliable methods)

### 1) Search by Plus Code (desktop or mobile)
Google Maps Help documents that you can search for a location with a Plus Code by entering it in the search box. It also notes that when you’re not in the town/city, you should include the locality name with the code (exactly like your dataset does: JW9H+JRQ, Cochabamba, Bolivia). Help

### 2) Search by GPS coordinates
Google Maps Help also documents searching by latitude/longitude directly. Your coordinate pair is already formatted for copy/paste: -17.380919, -66.0703955. Help

If Plus Code search and coordinate search land you in the same place, you’ve validated the destination using two independent inputs.

## High-altitude reality check (this affects your day more than you think)

Because Sacaba is commonly listed around 2,719 m, it sits in the range where altitude effects are plausible—especially if you arrived from a much lower elevation.

Authoritative travel-medicine references note:
– Symptoms of acute mountain sickness often occur after ascent to >2,500 m (timing and susceptibility vary).
– The CDC’s travel guidance discusses sleep disturbance and altitude-related breathing changes at high altitudes, with a specific note that periodic breathing becomes very common above ~2,700 m.

This is not a reason to avoid Sacaba; it’s a reason to plan your pacing if you’re arriving quickly from lower elevations.

## Data-quality notes you should keep in the post (to stay accurate over time)

– Rating (3.3): Ratings are inherently time-sensitive and platform-dependent; treat this as a snapshot from your dataset, not a stable attribute.
– Place label: The name “GEOLOCALIZACIÓN: SACABA, BOLIVIA” is used as a “landmark” label in at least one travel directory interface. That tells you it exists as a recognized POI label in that ecosystem, but it does not by itself confirm an official designation or interpretive signage on the ground.
– Population figures: The commonly cited 2012 census number is dated by definition. If you publish it, label it as “2012 census”.
