This is the famousMercado de las Brujas,or the Witches' Market.
Many of these items are used in religious rituals honoring the spirits of the Aymara religion.
Others are used to bring health, love, intelligence, happiness, wealth and longevity into peoples lives.
One of the best-selling items is boxed herbs from Brazil and Peru that purportedly improves sex life.
Instead, locals follow ancient tradition and visit fortune tellers and witch doctors called yatiri.
Some witch doctors even sell packaged, pre-made spells and potions to treat various problems.
One of the most peculiar items on the market are the dried llama fetuses.
Sometimes llama fetuses are burned to bring the good will of the goddess.
Some fetuses are also obtained if slaughtered llamas happen to be pregnant.
Llama sacrifices are still a thing in Bolivia and play an important part in many Bolivian rituals.
This is why llama fetuses in the Witches' Market come in all different sizes.
