Small Town Bolivia?

I've read a number of blogs and websites about Samaipata, Coroico, and Sorata. They seem to offer an interesting alternative to the more well known bigger cities. I'm curious if there are other small places that are equally interesting that I haven't run across yet. Emphasis would be on a reasonable distance from a bigger city with good amenities, which would eliminate Tupiza for me, although it has enough on it's own to be considered. The expat population in Samaipata sounds very interesting. And while they all have beautiful settings, Coroico's location looks amazing. I really like Sucre, but the lure of a small, but fun place has me thinking.
