Tarabuco Sunday Market
Tarabuco is a small colonial town about 65 kilometers from Sucre. This town is shaped by incredible cultural values and offers many rich experiences for the adventurous traveler. Here the residents have conserved the traditional dress and customs of bygone times, which they show off in their entire splendor in the market that takes place each Sunday.
The Tarabuco market is an opportunity for everyone to take part in the beautiful weavings that are famous for this area. Bargain for and enjoy the magnificent crafts that the local artists have to offer. Enjoy the family hospitality at historic Hacienda Candelaria, which is nearby, and in the morning visit the homes of local weavers. Maybe you will pick up a few words of Quechua, which will make your bargaining at the market more impressive and memorable.
Notable Highlights:
At Tarabucos Sunday market, Quechua merchants arrive on foot or atop rickety wooden trucks piled high with produce and hand-woven textiles. As their displays take shape in the early morning sun of the central plaza, the gray-green landscape wakes up to a blaze of color. Meanwhile, women in bowler hats, long black plaits and brightly colored crinoline skirts, ladle spoonfuls of delicious stew from the ring of cauldrons in the food market.
