La Paz's street market culture is alive and well. All week you are sure to come across impromptu markets on your way to other attractions in La Paz.

Sundays are market days in La Paz, and farmers come from hours away to sell all kinds of food on La Paz's busy streets.

Head to one of the traditional food markets in the morning like Mercado Lanza, where you can grab a mug of the Bolivian favorite Api, a sweet, thick breakfast drink. Or try some of the tasty Bolivian snacks like Salteñas and tucumanas; pastries stuffed with fresh meats and veggies. Always fresh, the markets are the best way to taste the diversity of Bolivia’s ingredients for just a few Bolivianos.
