Great with a paddleboat that you can rent, or a jetski, or be pulled by one. There is a jetski and boat rental station on the lake. Alternatively, you can just enjoy the lake and the view of the hills around or go for a delicious grilled fish in one of the villages around the lake, such as Achamoco. There are nice views of the sunset along Ruta 7 (Lat ).
Laguna La Angostura is a lake in the Cochabamba Department, Bolivia. At an elevation of 2700 m, its surface area is 10.5 km².

Sustainable Bolivia is an umbrella NGO that matches volunteers with local projects in Cochabamba. They typically have 15-25 volunteers working between the 25-30 local projects at any given time. They rent three houses that volunteers will live in, and also offer homestays. Most volunteers will confirm their projects several weeks before starting, and will commit to at least a month in Cochabamba. That means that their houses are sometimes full, and they cannot provide housing to walk-ins, particularly those who cannot commit to at least a month of time. Grants to organizations are administered by the volunteers themselves, so they know how the money is being used.
Cable Car
Cable car to the top of Cristo de la Concordia peak.
Awesome archeological museum with mummies, deformed skulls, amazing pottery and other artifacts. Well worth a visit.
The statue is just a bit higher and larger than the one in Rio de Janeiro, making it the world's largest statue of Jesus until 2010, when a larger one was completed in Poland. It offers a great view of the city. Walk Calle Colombia until its eastern end, then a swift right: This park/playground is where the cable car goes from, Bs. 6.50 each way. You can also walk. The stairs are safe during the day. After sunset it is better to go in a group of 4 or more. However, the warning displayed at the cable car station, not to use the stairs, is obviously just there to make more money. The cable car is often under maintenance. There is no good way to know before heading out to the station, but the local newspaper is pretty good about updating any changes.
A great arts and performance center based in an old slaughterhouse. They have rotating art exhibits, music performances, and other interesting stuff.
City center, site of commemoration of Bolivia's independence, where you can feed the pigeons and look at the Metropolitan Catedral of Saint Sebastian.
