Tarabuco Sunday Market
Mercado de Tarabuco
A Sunday market in an Indigenous town, where Yampara people in traditional dress sell textiles and farm produce.
Tarabuco lies about 65 km southeast of Sucre. Its Sunday market draws Yampara people from surrounding villages. Men wear leather hats called monteras, shaped like Spanish helmets. The market sells brightly colored handwoven fabrics, shawls and bags, as well as farm produce such as potatoes and corn. The Pujllay festival in March features spectacular dance performances. From Sucre, take the Sunday morning tourist bus or a shared van, about 1.5 to 2 hours. Return in the afternoon, and remember to bargain and wear sun protection.
Opening hours
Sunday approx. 09:00–15:00
