Bolivia is best known for its salt flats, beautiful lakes, and archeological sites, but fans of all things creepy won’t be disappointed by this country, either. Spooky tourist attractions are scattered all around Bolivia and here are three that will scare you if you decide to visit them.

The Witches’ Market

Located in Bolivia’s capital of La Paz, The Witches’ Market is one of the city’s most lively attractions despite its spooky nature. The market is run by local witch doctors selling the strangest items that you’ll ever stumble upon, such as selling dried llama fetuses, potions, dried frogs, and more.

North Yungas Road

The North Yungas Road is one of Bolivia’s most popular attractions, but that doesn’t change the fact that it’s also one of its deadliest. It connects La Paz and the Yungas region, and it’s known by the nickname “Death Road” because it’s one of the world’s most dangerous routes.

Train Cemetery

Located near the Salar de Uyuni, Bolivia’s Train Cemetery is home to countless rusty trains dating back to the 19th century. The legend has it they were once robbed by Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but their scenic deserted location alone makes them worth the visit.
