The Mercado Campesino is the largest
Bolivia. The name of the market, in Spanish
, literally means "market of the people from the countryside". This is because many of the products are grown or manufactured outside of the city.
The market is also the most common place for country or indigenous people to conduct their business in Sucre..
Despite being outside the central area of town, the Mercardo is visited more than any other location in Sucre. Market traffic varies during the week. Saturdays are the most popular. On the weekend, it is common for family members to visit the market together as a form of leisure.[1] Each year, tourism grows in Sucre, but the Mercado Campesino remains almost exclusive to working class locals.[1]
