Museo Municipal
Av Arce, near the corner with Colón • Mon-Fri 8am-noon & 2-6pm • Bs5
Half a block north of the town's clocktower on the left-hand side of Arce, is the small
Museo
Municipal
, whose random collection of skulls, mummies, postcards and other archeological
finds from the region offers a reasonable way of passing twenty minutes.
Cementerio de Trenes
A fifteen-minute walk west down Avenida Ferroviaria and along the railway line takes you
to the
Cementerio de Trenes
(Train Cemetery). Set on the desolate fringe of the Salar, with
good views back towards the town, this graveyard of rusting steam locomotives, passenger
carriages and freight wagons that used to carry ore from long-abandoned mines is a sombre
monument to the past glory of the age of steam and steel.
