Traditional Andean amulets and medicinal herbs at the Witches' Market
La Paz · Bolivia
About this experience
In the narrow streets of La Paz, stalls display dried herbs, charms used in Andean belief and small handmade objects. Asking sellers about the role these items play in local life is the real pleasure of the market. It is a colourful, busy street for browsing, wandering and taking photographs.
The altitude is high, so do not hurry. Ask before photographing people; it is both polite and expected. A small bag with easy-to-reach essentials helps in the crowd.
