Why pilgrims come
A sacred place worth the journey.
The diocesan Marian sanctuary and goal of Tarija's month-long August–September pilgrimage. The image known affectionately as the Mamita de Chaguaya received a canonical coronation in 2024. That coronation recognizes the image and devotion; it is not entered here as an apparition judgment.
