Where am I?

Using the following clues (the map above is purely decorative) in combination with Street View, work out my location.

Although Roman, THC’s chief puzzlewright, would be interested to know how long it takes you to solve this solo foxer, he’d rather you didn’t put spoilers or solutions in the comments.

Today I’m 3910 metres above sea level in a country that has a red and white flag, a female president, and a lower telephone calling code than any of its neighbours. The closest foreign country is landlocked. Roughly 90 kilometres from the shores of a famous transnational monomictic lake, a kilometre from an odd-numbered highway, and 540 metres from a bull ring, I’m a five minute walk from a thermal baths complex. The town you are searching for is a provincial capital with a vowel at the beginning and end of its name.

You are probably in the right place if you can see…

  • A yellow pencil
  • A happy tree
  • A red disc harrow
  • Trimovils
  • A police 4WD
  • Sleepers
  • A school named after a poet excuted by firing squad
  • A shop that sells Kris
  • More sheep than people
  • Floodlights
  • The words ‘AGUA ES VIDA’
