Tarabuco, Indigenous market town in Chuquisaca, Bolivia.
The central plaza of Tarabuco contains numerous small shops and stands where vendors display textiles, produce, and traditional crafts every Sunday.
The town commemorates the 1816 Battle of Jumbate, where local forces fought against Spanish colonial troops, through a monument in the main square.
The Yampara people of Tarabuco maintain their textile traditions by creating intricate patterns that tell stories of their community through colors and designs.
Visitors can reach Tarabuco by taking a two-hour bus ride from Sucre, with vehicles departing regularly from the central station between 7 AM and 2 PM.
The Sunday market attracts indigenous farmers from 20 surrounding villages who wear distinctive montera hats made from leather and decorated with metal.
