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! Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Department StoreDirections: Miraflores area

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Food and DrinkDirections: Lots around but this one was on Calle Illampu

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

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! Leave a Comment Theme: Men's Clothes

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. Leave a Comment Theme: Other

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! Leave a Comment Theme: Gifts
