Cochabomba, Bolivia – May 27, 2025

This image showcases Cochabamba, Bolivia on May 27, 2025, captured by the Sentinel-2 satellite. Nestled within the fertile Cochabamba Valley, the city appears as a bright, sprawling urban core surrounded by rugged Andean foothills and high-altitude terrain.

The contrast between the densely built city and the surrounding semi-arid mountains is striking. Green agricultural zones and reservoirs punctuate the valley floor, while the surrounding slopes reveal intricate erosion patterns and natural drainage networks shaped by elevation and climate. Snow-capped peaks are visible toward the higher elevations in the distance, emphasizing Cochabamba’s location between Bolivia’s high plateau and lower valleys.

This satellite view highlights why Cochabamba is often called “The City of Eternal Spring”—a natural crossroads where geography, agriculture, and urban life converge in one of Bolivia’s most important regions.
