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!

Petit museo situé au cœur de la ville. Il donne des explications sur l’usage de la coca par les Boliviens. Il m’a permis de mieux saisir les côtés positifs et négatifs de son usage. L’accueil est sympathique, il y a un café à l’intérieur et on peut acheter des bonbons et des infusions à la coca. Je garde un très bon souvenir de cette visite.
