Museo del Litoral Boliviano, La Paz (must see)

In this museum you can learn about the lost war against Chile, the so-called "War of the Pacific" (1879-1883). The consequence of the lost war against Chile was a huge loss of land of Bolivia. In addition, Bolivia also had to cede its important sea access to Chile. Bolivia's demands for a separate access to the sea since 1904 in a signed contract remain unclear. In the "Sala de Mapas" you can see old maps with the original borders of that time, as well as books from that period. In the "Sala de Uniformes y Fotografias" are displayed old chests, pictures and uniforms. On the first floor you will also find showcases filled with rifles, pistols and sabers.
