Sucre & Tarabuco sunday market

Sucre is officially Bolivia's capital city and also known as the white city because it's colonial and neo-classical archicture, which gave them honor to be in the Unesco list. Most of bolivians like it a lot due to "warmer" weather and beauty and we actually agree with both!.
But the highlight of this trip was Tarabuco; a small town 60km away from Sucre where we had to take a mini-van where everyone except us spoke Quechua and guess who was the only white, blue-eyed person of the crowd?
The trip got us to see more of the bolivia's rural landscape with small villages of houses made of adobe and clay tiles on the roofs.

Obviously a bit touristic but worth a while, a market where local peasants and natives come to sell their handy crafts, and where Ulf found a curious statue celebrating an uprising of local tribes in the 19th century by presenting a super-realistic scene of an indigenous warrior standing on top of a spanish soldier laying on the ground, ripping his heart out with bear hands...great motive for a "only in Bolivia picture". ;-)Leia mais
