Fodor's Expert Review Calle Sagárnaga

La Paz Market

Calle Sagárnaga, near Plaza San Francisco, although tourist central, is still a good place to look for local handicrafts, Aymara embroidered shawls, and wool. Prices start at $15 USD and peak at more than $200 USD for those made of buttery-soft vicuña wool. Colorful polleras, the traditional skirts worn by indigenous women, are priced between $50 and $100 USD; bowler hats start at around $20 USD. Along the tiny streets that lead off to the right and left are numerous crafts shops.
