La Paz is located in a crater, a striking setting for a bustling metropolis.

View from an internet cafe on Linares Street and Sagarnaga Street. These streets are famous for handicrafts and the Witches Market. Notice the Coca Museum sign. :) Yes, the same coca that is used for cocaine, but the natural form is not dangerous.

Finally! A close-up of the infamous llama fetuses sold at the Witches Market (Mercado de los Brujos). It is said that when you bury a fetus in the ground of a new building, it produces good luck. The witches market also sells talismans, ingredients, etc. I bought a statue of Pachamama (Mother Earth), eye of frog, claw of crow and ear of elephant to concoct some spells for people who don't sign the guestbook... ;)

Another market vendor on Linares Street. The llama fetuses are in the basket on the bottom of the picture, next to llama lard.
