Museo de la Coca

La Paz


Chew on some facts inside the small, slightly tired Coca Museum, which explores the sacred leaf’s role in traditional societies, its use by the soft-drink and pharmaceutical industries, and the growth of cocaine as a party drug. The displays (ask for a translation in your language) are educational, provocative and evenhanded.

The on-site cafe serves cocktails, sweets and even nachos, all made with coca.
