mARTadero is a contemporary arts and cultural center housed in a former municipal slaughterhouse south of Cochabamba's center. The reuse of the building is part of the draw, giving exhibitions, workshops, performances, and community projects an industrial shell with a strong local identity.
Programming changes often, so the quality of a visit depends on what is happening that week. For travelers interested in Bolivia's current art scene rather than only colonial plazas and viewpoints, it is one of Cochabamba's more distinctive stops.
