Tocaña: Afro-Bolivian Village Day Tour
Description
Descend from the windswept peaks of the Andes into the lush, subtropical valleys of the Yungas on this cultural experience like no other. Visit Tocaña, one of Bolivia’s few Afro-Bolivian villages, where music, rhythm, and resilience echo through the green hills. Along the way, you’ll sip coca tea by a secret alpine lake, learn about ancestral farming traditions, and experience the deep cultural pride of a community often left out of the guidebooks. It’s a day filled with heart, history, and the beat of the saya drum.
Unique Experiences:
Sip coca tea at a hidden high-altitude lake, surrounded by stunning silence and mountain air at Jinchumuruni.
Experience a live performance of Afro-Bolivian Saya music and dance, unique to the locals in the heart of Tocaña.
Tour a working coca farm, where you'll learn the ancient relationship between this sacred plant and the people of the Yungas.
