Vendiendo hojas de Coca/Selling Coca leaves - Sucre
Vendiendo hojas de Coca/Selling Coca leaves

En el mercado deTarabuco se venden las hojas de coca , que las consumen constantemente , las mastican y hacen una bola que se les nota porque sobresale en su mejilla
Dicen que es lo mejor para el mal de altura , pero la verdad es que a mi no me hizo mucho efecto
In the Taramuco market they sell the coca leaves , that they consume constantly , they chew them and make a ball that you may see because protrude in their mouth
They say that is the best for the high disease , but really it was not very efficient for me
