Bolivia's Witches' Market

The Oddee's crew went - along with photographer Robert Dam - to one of the most bizarre street markets in South America. Located in the world's highest capital at 11,200 feet (3,400 meters), La Paz, the market over Calle Linares hosts a crowded line of unusual stores where witches, medicine women, folk doctors, astrologers, fortunetellers, and sorcerers live and work.

From Llama fetuses for prosperity, to toad talismans, owl feathers and stone amulets; meet Bolivia's Witches' Market.

Hotel built of salt

The Salt Hotel of Bolivia is so unique because the salt is always on the table. In fact, the salt is the table. This unique hotel located over the Uyuni Flats - world's largest salt flat, in the southwestern part of the Bolivia.

The hotel was built in 1993 by a salt artisan who saw a mint in the number of tourists looking for places to stay while visiting the flats. The lodge has 15 bedrooms, a dinning room, a living room and a bar.

The building's roof, and bar are built of salt and even the floor is covered with salt granules. The walls are made of salt blocks stuck together with a cement-like substance made of salt and water. During rainy seasons, the walls are strengthened with new blocks, while the owners ask the guests to avoid licking the walls to prevent deterioration.
