Coca Museum
About This Museum
Tucked away on a steep street in La Paz, this tiny museum is a fascinating deep dive into the world of the coca leaf. You'll find everything from ancient ceramic pots depicting its use to displays on its role in traditional Andean culture. It doesn't shy away from the controversial stuff either, tracing how this sacred plant was transformed into the modern drug cocaine. It's a surprisingly comprehensive look at a single plant that tells a huge story.
