Most people visiting Bolivia are there to explore its nature and the iconic salt flats, but what about its museums? Its capital of La Paz is home to quite a few, and these three are so unusual that you have to see them with your own eyes to believe they exist.
Museum of Musical Instruments
Music fans visiting La Paz shouldn’t leave before checking out this museum. Its two floors are covered with countless musical instruments, some of which you can only get to see in Bolivia—including guitars made from armadillos and volcanic rock flutes.
Coca Museum
Museums can be dedicated to all sorts of very specific things, but this one is taking things to a whole new level. Coca Museum covers the history of the coca plant and its many uses over the centuries, including its connection to Coca Cola.
Pre-Columbian Precious Metals Museum
Commonly known as the Gold Museum, this tourist attraction features silver, gold, and copper artifacts from hundreds of centuries ago, some believed to be around 3,000 years old. It features four themed rooms, and the treasure of San Sebastian is its biggest attraction.
