Cinti Valley (Spanish: valle de Cinti or valle de los Cintis[1]) is an interandean valley in Bolivia, located in the ubicado the provinces of Nor Cinti and Sud Cinti in the southwest of the Chuquisaca Department. The area is made up of a high altitude valley draining small basins and includes a narrow canyon along the valley's north–south axis. The Cinti Valley has altitudes above sea level that range from 2200 to 3600 m.[2] Historically the Cinti Valley has been a corridor that connects the highland area of the Puna or Altiplano with the Interandean Valles and the Bolivian lowlands in the east.[3]
The valley is home to a wine-making tradition dating to colonial times and is one of the main wine-making areas of Bolivia. The main settlements along the valley are Camargo and Villa Abecia.
