Jun 21, 2007 - Chapare, Bolivia - 'Search and destroy' operations of the Police Special Narcotic Forces (UMOPAR) in the coca growing zone called Chapare. This place is the bigest coca production region in Bolivia and also major cocaine production zone. 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. Chapare is in the northern region of Cochabamba Department in central Bolivia. (Credit Image: © Christian Lombardi/ZUMA Press)
