Mercado Lanza, Municipal marketplace in central La Paz, Bolivia
Mercado Lanza spans four levels featuring dedicated sections for fresh produce, meats, dairy products, clothing, books, and prepared food stalls.
The original structure from 1937 underwent complete reconstruction between 2008 and 2010 to accommodate more than 1,000 merchants in a modern facility.
Local food vendors at Mercado Lanza demonstrate Bolivia's food independence by offering traditional dishes that outperform international restaurant chains in popularity.
The market provides access through four main entrances, including an elevated walkway from Pasarela Pérez Velasco and an entrance from Plaza Mayor de San Francisco.
The upper floor houses numerous small restaurants serving complete two-course meals at prices under one dollar, making it an essential dining destination.
