COCA MUSEUM
Museum relating the role of the coca leaf in the traditional societies of the Altiplano, since the time of the Incas
This small museum shows the important role that the coca leaf plays in the traditional societies of the Altiplano since the time of the Incas. Its use, from the infusion (mate of coca) to cocaine, through the traditional medicine of the Kallawayas, or its use in a famous American drink, is detailed through explanatory panels. A tiny café proposes some articles based on coca, in particular the famous caramelitos of concentrated coca essence, the ideal to acclimatize to the altitude without having to coquear. Original!
