Bolivia – The Essentials

• Always use a knife and fork while eating - even bananas!
Hot Topic
La Paz’s famous witches’ market is an unmissable spectacle that is ghoulish and fascinating in equal measure. The capital’s old quarter is lined with shops piled high with amulets, potions and herbs that purport to cure every ailment from baldness to infertility. Sorcerers and witches cast spells and sell charms such as lama foetuses (buried under most Bolivian houses) to bring prosperity. Not for the faint-hearted!
