The Witches' Market (Mercado de Hechecería)

7 reviews of The Witches' Market (Mercado de Hechecería)

A little creepy

Bolivians are very superstitious, and there are plenty of rituals centered around daily life. One is to bury a llama fetus under the foundations of your home in order to protect the building from natural disasters. This tradition began in the time of the Incas, and this custom has survived the fall of the empire. There is even a witches' market in La Paz! They don't like cameras, but it's easy to understand why: it's a little creepy!
