Be careful of buying things from the artists in the park (and anywhere). When you pay them with money, use coins and not bills. When you’re not looking, they will switch bills and claim you gave them a fake bill. Next thing you know, the police arrive and you go before the judge. No charges will be filed but you’ll have to come back to fight the charges on a later date (20 days to 6 months). Remember your visa is only good for 30 days. Good luck !

I only visit for 2 nights to enable visit to sponsored children through World Vision, so cannot judge Oruro for itself, but enjoy visiting local market, buying provisions, & sampling "Api", local Maize drink, & "Bunuelos" - sort of large inflated pancake - both delicious - Also originally on 1st visit, sampled "Charkecan" - local typical dish of Llama meat with potatoes, hard boiled egg, etc, but unfortunately 2nd time made me very ill, so warning - be careful of restaurant!! Oruro growing v fast, & seems like a construction site, quite chaotic, plenty of stray/street dogs roaming loose. Surrounding hinterland/countryside V interesting - God´s given country, with herds of Llamas & wild horses, goats & sheep, & cultivation of potatoes & other basic commodities

In the City of Oruro, you should visit the Socavon museum, the cableway station and the Socavo'n virgin monument. About the food, I can visit Nayjama Restaurant or taste the traditional Charquekan in 6 de Agosto avenue and Ayacucho street.
