Расположение провинции Чапаре в пределах Боливии
Chapare (tʃaˈpaɾe, also called The Chapare, is a rural province in the northern region of Cochabamba Department in central Bolivia. Most of the territory consists of valley rainforests that surround the area's main waterway, the Chapare River, which is also a tributary of the Amazon River. The provincial capital is Sacaba, 11 km east of Cochabamba. Its principal town is Villa Tunari, a popular tourist destination. In recent decades, the Chapare province has become a haven for illegal cultivation of the coca plant, which can be used to produce cocaine. This is due to Bolivian drug law, which until recently only permitted the Yungas region to legally grow coca, despite Chapare being a historical area for growth due to its fertility. For this reason, Chapare has been a primary target for coca eradication in recent years, with frequent and heated clashes between the U. S. Drug Enforcement Administration and Bolivian cocaleros. The law has since been changed by a deal that was struck between Evo Morales (a former coca activist and the country's first indigenous President (2006 2019)) and former President Carlos Mesa. This deal permits the region to grow a limited amount of coca every year .

Чапаре (tʃaˈpaɾe, также называемый The Chapare) — сельская провинция в северной части департамента Кочабамба в центральной Боливии. Большая часть территории состоит из долинных тропических лесов, окружающих главный водный путь региона — реку Чапаре, которая также является притоком реки Амазонки. Столица провинции — Сакаба, расположенная в 11 км к востоку от Кочабамбы. Главный город — Вилла Тунари, популярное туристическое направление. В последние десятилетия провинция Чапаре стала убежищем для незаконного выращивания коки, из которой можно производить кокаин. Это связано с боливийским законодательством о наркотиках, которое до недавнего времени разрешало выращивать коку только в регионе Юнгас, несмотря на то, что Чапаре исторически был плодородной областью для её выращивания. По этой причине Чапаре в последние годы является основной целью кампаний по уничтожению коки, что часто приводит к ожесточенным столкновениям между Управлением по борьбе с наркотиками США и боливийскими кокалеро. Законодательство впоследствии было изменено в результате соглашения, достигнутого между Эво Моралесом (бывшим активистом кокалеро и первым коренным президентом страны (2006–2019)) и бывшим президентом Карлосом Месой. Это соглашение разрешает региону выращивать ограниченное количество коки каждый год.
