The 10 Best Shopping in La Paz, La Paz Department

September 17, 2021 Malia Yoakum

Sitting in a valley in the Andes Mountains, La Paz is the city that touches the clouds. The de facto capital of Bolivia, and sitting between 3300 and 4100 meters above sea level, La Paz is the highest capital city in the world. Rich with 19th century churches, museums of artifacts from the pre-Conquest era, precarious overlooks, and colorful markets, La Paz is truly unique. The Witches’ Market, in the center of the city, sells charms and potions for Aymara rituals, as well as souvenirs.

Reviewed By LaylaDarya - Toronto, Canada

The Store stands out in the Artisans street Linhares. It's beautiful pink Door reminds me of a doll house. The store has all handmade products of high quality baby alpaca and alpaca and filtro products. And the most amazing thing is that it's made by artisan women who work to support their families, each piece has a story and made with Love. Loved the products, I bought a poncho and 2 shawls. ????????❤ I recommend it if you want the real thing. Look around the store all the pictures on the walls and displays show how things were made. It's so interesting.
