Llama fetuses, my friends. In the Aymara culture, which is dominant in the La Paz, Altiplano area, one must bury a llama fetus to mark the start of a new phase in life such as the opening of a business, or the building of a house to ensure health, well-being, and success. The fetuses sold in the Witches' Market are for the poor; the wealthy are expected to sacrifice a whole llama to appease the Pacha Mama.
