 One of the shops by SirRichard 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 Mall by AlbuqRay 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

 local color/local market by richiecdisc 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

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

The best place to buy handicrafts (for tourists) is in the area around Calle Sagarnaga behind the Church of San Francisco. There are street stalls and small shops with good quality alpaca goods, like sweaters, gloves, hats... as the main items for sale. There are also ethnic textiles, antiques and silver jewellery. One item of great interest to me is the curious little gemstones that are peach-and-lavendar in shades called 'bolivanita' (or ametrine, which is mined only here in Bolivia). You can find many earrings, necklaces, etc... with this special stone set in them. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 'San Francisco' gallery by Pietro_4wd Beside the San Francisco temple, a nice concentration of good handcraft really impressive.
if you like andean music, a xarango is a good choice. Leave a Comment Theme: Local Craft

 Candies and stones by SirRichard 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

 A black street by SirRichard 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!
