Bolivia’s free territory of Chapare ousts coup regime, bracing for a bloody re-invasion
Known as Bolivia’s Chapare region, the Tropico of Cochabamba is a sanctuary for elected President Evo Morales’ most dedicated base of support. Since the November 10 coup, it has effectively become a self-governing territory where the military junta is absent. In this 12,000 square kilometer swath of land, hundreds of unions have flourished over the years.
