    In bolivia, specially in la paz you`ll see a lot of markets, but they are not on a house as usual. it`s because this is a poo country. so the people do not have a good jobs. so they rather to sell on the streets
    the sellers and called Caseras, who are women dressed called CHOLAS.

    you can buy some vegetables, potatoes, fruits and everything.

    not too much. it`s really cheap.

    Witchery market
  • Tip Rating:
  • This is one of the most original and famous markets of La Paz. Its main attraction are these shops where they sell natural remedies, strange dead animals for superstitious spells and all that kind of popular wisdom stuff. You can find skulls, dried frogs, snakes' skins, remedies for love problems... just imagine!

    Torre Ketal: Upscale Shopping in Miraflores Area
  • Tip Rating:
  • Torre Ketal is an upscale mall in the Miraflores area (the large building with the red trim). The day we were there, they were having a bicycle race in La Paz. It was to finish on the street next to the mall but we did not wait to see the end.

    local street vendors: produce markets are the best
  • Tip Rating:
  • The local markets of La Paz are colorful and full of Indians in traditional clothing. They are great places to wander about and take photos.

    There is a great variety of fruits, all worth trying. Just walk around and point.

    And ask how much of course.... Really, you can bargain or just pay, the prices are incredible either way so enjoy them.

    San Francisco handcrafts gallery
    Beside the San Francisco temple, a nice concentration of good handcraft really impressive.

    if you like andean music, a xarango is a good choice.

    Candies and souvenirs
    In the Witchery Market you can also find a lot of nice souvenirs made of stone and some beautiful candies with many colours and huge size. I didn't taste them, as they seemed to have too many sugar for me, but I guess that would be a great gift for your children or nieces back at home.

    Black market
    This crowded and compact market is called so because of the stolen items sold here, but in fact you can find almost anything in its narrow crowded streets.
    Each group of items are located in a certain section, so once you find the section you are looking for, just compare the stuff and prices.
    BTW, be careful with your bag and pockets!

    Fake stuff
    Walking around La Paz you can see many many stalls of fake CDs, Videos, DVDs... Don't know about the quality, but they seemed to have every new commercial success in the world, specially caribbean music and latinamerican singers.

    Any shop: Bolivia is the place to shop
    Buying the usual Andean fare of llama, pardone me, ALPACA products, is more economical in Bolivia than in Chile. Peru is close but more touristy and unpleasant surprises are posible.

    10USD for a pulover, sweater, jumper!
