How can I use public transportation to get around in Boliva?

I'm planning a trip from La Paz to Patamanta first, then to Tuni, probably will stay the night in Tuni.

I'm not planning the multiple day trekking in Condoriri, but the Laguna Tuni looks amazing.

I prefer not to take a tour from La Paz because, after Tuni, I decided to go to Lake Titikaka. From Tuni, I think it's faster to go back to Patamamta, then to Copacabana.

The question is:

Are there regular buses from La Paz to Patamanta. There are a lot of buses from La Paz to Cobacabana, will they stop in Patamanta? From Patamanta can I find a taxi to Tuni?
