Puerto Acosta Municipality

Puerto Acosta Municipality is a rural administrative area in Eliodoro Camacho Province in Bolivia's La Paz Department. The zone contains four distinct cantons that serve as separate settlements across the high plateau.

The area once covered more territory but underwent major administrative division in 2009 when two of its regions became independent municipalities. This reorganization reduced the jurisdiction to its current size and configuration.

Aymara-speaking communities live here and practice traditional ways of life across the four settlements. Their customs and daily routines reflect the broader highland culture of the Andes.

The climate is cool and the air is thin at this elevation, so travelers need time to acclimatize to the altitude. The dry season offers better conditions for exploring and moving around the settlements.

Rainfall varies dramatically between drier and wetter months, shaping local agriculture and water availability. Visitors will notice how seasons strongly influence the landscape and daily routines of residents.
