Museo de Antropologia, La Paz?
I'd like to visit the museo de antropologia in La Paz. Have any of you been there? I'd been interested to hear your reviews and thoughts.
I don't know La Paz very well. Is the museum easy to find? Is there decent parking?

Easy to find. If I remember right, on street parking only, but not much of a problem. Don't expect too much, it ain't the Louvre.

We've been once. You'll probably see it all in an hour or so.
If you haven't been to the Cactus Sanctuary, that's a great place to go visit.
I think the world is run by C- students.

Frommer's Review
This 50-hectare (124-acre) natural reserve features 1,000m (over a half-mile) of marked pathways and self-guided tours with information about the
plants and animals of La Paz's desert region. Fifty unique areas have been identified, which you can explore in consecutive order or any progression
of your choosing. Route maps and guided tours are available, as are descriptive signs for many of the plants. There's a surprising amount of wildlife
to see here, from the myriad types of cacti, many of which are endemic to Baja California, to the numerous plants and animals that support this unique
ecosystem. The sanctuary is in the Ejido El Rosario (an ejido is a village that is a community-owned piece of land). Go to the ejido's delegación
(main office), and they will provide you with a key to enter the reserve.

I've driven past that Cactus Sanctuary sign countless times. Sounds like it's well worth a visit. I'll make a point of it! Thanks all for the info.
