Shopping in Potosí

  1. A

    Market

    Favored Potosí souvenirs include silver and tin articles available in Stands near the market entrance on Calle Oruro; many of them were produced in the village of Caiza, 80km south of Potosí, which now has its own co-op shop featuring naturally dyed llama and alpaca wool items. Here, small dangly earrings, hoop earrings, spoons and platters cost between around US$1 and US$5.
