This interesting train cemetery is located about 30 min walk (2 Km) south of the train station.­ The junkyard has dozens of old steam locomotives and many wrecked train cars from accidents and derailments (which are frequent in Bolivia).­

Local unmarried couples use the old train cars to make out secretly.­

Apparently it was common for chapel organ installations to have fancy but non-functional pipes prominently mounted in the church while the actual functional, and less beautiful, pipes were hidden away.
