Mercado de Hechicería - La Paz, Bolivia


, originally uploaded by m_hagen.

We´ve been cruising through Bolivia the past month enjoying the sights, sounds and scents the place has to offer. On this day we wandered over to the Witche's Market to see what was on special for the day. Apparently it was Llama fetus's. All different sizes and colors. Dried out and ready to place on your mantle to bring good luck to your home. They also had beautiful tapir, puma and, ocelot skins that I don't believe would be legal to sell anywhere else in the world. Endangered species maybe???? The shops were interesting and the ladies selling their wares were really sweet. We ended up with some tiny Puma carving´s to protect our home.
