Municipio de Challapata
Discovering the culture of the peoples of the plateau
The community of Livichuco, in the municipality of Challapata, expresses its ancestral wisdom through the wonderfully handcrafted textiles produced there and its unique ceremonial rituals.
On weekends, producers from all the communities in the municipality meet in Challapata to sell their agricultural produce at a market which, because of its importance, also attracts traders from the more distant departments of La Paz and Potosí. Visiting this lively market, frequented mainly by women dressed in typical Andean clothing, is a good opportunity to see and learn about the inhabitants of these lands.
