Additional Data

➔ Witch Street

The tour begins toward the mystical heart of La Paz at Witch Street. This enclave, which covers Santa Cruz, Illampu, Linares, and Sagárnaga streets, is located just steps from the imposing Basilica of San Francisco and constitutes one of the most unique attractions of the "Marvel City." There, visitors find a vibrant mix of Andean craftsmanship—alpaca textiles, silver jewelry, and colorful skirts—and a wide range of ritual objects: amulets and talismans of pre‑Columbian origin, medicinal herbs, "tables for Pachamama," and perhaps most surprisingly, dried llama fetuses that locals sell to be buried under the foundations of new houses as an offering to Mother Earth to guarantee prosperity and protection. Additionally, the market houses curiosities such as dried toucan beaks and traditional brews, and allows travelers to converse with yatiris (healers) who explain the Aymara worldview and the importance of gratitude rituals to Pachamama. This tour not only provides a unique shopping experience but also introduces visitors to the deep spirituality and cultural syncretism that characterize daily life in La Paz.
