The La Llamita Cemetery (Cementerio La Llamita) is a cemetery located in the Periférica macro district, in the Agua de la Vida Norte area of northern La Paz, Bolivia. [1] it is considered clandestine because it is not under custody of the municipal government of that city. [2] [3] In 2017, a revitalization and recovery project was planned.
The residents of the neighborhood point out that in the mid-eighties, the La Llamita Cemetery was already established, and graves from 1974 can be found on the site. [4]
The La Llamita Cemetery was established by the inhabitants of the surrounding sectors, until 2017 it did not have direct municipal administration although maintenance work [5] was carried out jointly with the neighbors. [6] Some of the problems of the cemetery were the lack of control over burials, graves without registration related to criminal actions, [7] [8] establishment of alcoholics in the vicinity, [9] lack of water and maintenance, as well as lack of lighting. [10] During the construction of one of the stations of the orange line of Mi Teleférico, tree pruning work was carried out. [11]
The cemetery occupies a plot of land on a medium slope and has graves on the natural ground with small niches to place flowers for the deceased. The land is privately owned and managed by the neighborhood council. [9]
