Artesanías Arco Irís
On the south side of the plaza, the Artesanías Arco Irís offers a unique glimpse into Coroico daily life. During the high season, the market is frequented by itinerant craftspeople selling a wide range of artesanía (locally handcrafted items) including quality handmade jewelry. When you're done, grab a bag of yummy, nutty Yungas coffee from one of the surrounding cafes.

El Calvario
For pretty views, El Calvario is an easy 20-minute hike from town. Here, the Stations of the Cross lead to a grassy knoll and chapel. There are two good trailheads from El Calvario: the left leads to the cascadas, a trio of waterfalls a two-hour walk from the chapel; the right leads to Cerro Uchumachi (a five-hour round-trip), which affords terrific valley views.

El Vagante
A good day's walk will take you to and from El Vagante, an area of natural stone swimming holes in the Río Santa Bárbara. Follow the road toward Coripata for about two hours, passing some Pre-Columbian terraces. Downstream from here is a series of swimming holes and waterfalls. The return route is uphill all the way!
