[The Witches Market | A mysterious experience in La Paz, a market where local beliefs live on 🌿]

[The Witches Market | A mysterious experience in La Paz, a market where local beliefs live on 🌿] — A market where you can see the "magic" of Ajemala culture, from coca leaves to llama fetuses — 📍 [Location/Access] The center of La Paz, around Linares Street and Jimenez Street. It is about a 5-minute walk from San Francisco Church  🕰 [Opening hours] Open almost every day from 9:30 to 22:00 ⸻ ✨ Recommended points • Rare ritual items such as dried llama fetuses, frogs, and armadillos that can be selected according to purpose such as medicine, luck improvement, and love  • Yatiri (ritual masters) with black hats walk around and provide fortune-telling, rituals, and amulets. You can experience the local spiritual culture • Locals also visit on a daily basis, and it is an area that has both tourism and faith. It's an overwhelming cultural experience • There are traditional crafts, alpaca products, and colorful souvenirs, so it's perfect for a "tour just to see" ⸻ 🎒 Tips • "Check if it's OK to take photos before touching" is the golden rule! Taking photos without permission can lead to trouble; be especially careful with fetuses • We recommend visiting in the morning to avoid the cold and crowds at the steep altitude • If you are using it for medicinal or spiritual purposes, tell them the type and they will prepare it for you (in Spanish or with gestures) • Be careful not to carry valuables. There are also pickpockets around the market, so be careful • Combine it with San Francisco Church and the cable car for a cultural stroll #Absolutely free trip #Bolivia #La Paz
