    • The witches market is a small street next to the main backpacker street (which name i forgot).
    It's one of those things you'll have to see when in La Paz. They sell all sort of stuff, from pachamama images to lama fetuses(locals bury this under their new house as a sacrifice to Pachamama.)

    Head to the mercado de las Brujas in central La Paz. It is a very interesting place and makes a great place to buy unique and cheap sovineers. There are a lot of good luck charms and potions.....my favorite was the llama fetus. Try explaining that at customs!

    Buy anything from a Pachamama (mother earth Andean god) statue to a llama fetus (good luck will come to those who have one of these on their house). It's a very interesting street a few blocks from the San Francisco church.
