Totora (/toʊtʊərɑː/) (in Hispanicized spelling), Tutura or T'utura (Aymara and Quechua for Schoenoplectus californicus, an aquatic plant)[2][3][4] is a town in the Carrasco Province of the Cochabamba Department in Bolivia.

[6] The first time the town was mentioned was in 1639, when a landowner named Don Fernando García Murillo had established a chaplaincy.

[11] 105 people were killed,[12] and it was considered a "national tragedy" by then-President Hugo Banzer.

The increase was unexpected, as the Association of Municipality of Cochabamba (AMDECO) projected the population to drop to 1,469.

The most common style of house includes adobe walls, land floors, and cement roofing.

[27] In 2011, solar panels were introduced in the town to power its schools, with the help of the European Union.

Created in 1991, the park has an area of 6,226 km2 (2,404 sq mi) and it ranges in altitude from 300 and 4,700 m (980 and 15,420 ft).

[30] The main tourist attractions are The House of Culture, which used to be a mansion but is now a museum; the colonial bridges; the plaza; Phaqcha (Pajcha), a 30 m (98 ft) waterfall; Julpe, a place that holds cave paintings.

[38] The Bolivian Department of Education is in the process of making a road from Tarata to Totora, since both are historic towns.
