3. If you
speak Spanish, don’t be afraid to ask questions
In general, the women working in the
Witch Market are more than happy to answer you questions about their spells and
potions. When I visited, I was shocked by how few foreigners spoke to the
witches.
These women are some of the last witches
in South America and know more about traditional healing methods and the uses
for local Andes plants and herbs than anyone. If anyone is going to be able to
cure your upset stomach or altitude sickness, these are the women.
