"It is better for our clients to come with dollars, because with bolivianos it is not going to add up," said La Paz TV salesman Ronal Mamani.

The recent uncertainty has seen the cost of dollars rise to as much as 7.8 bolivianos in unofficial parallel markets, according to currency traders and Reuters checks.

He said he would not change the dollar peg of the nation’s currency, the boliviano, citing fears of sharp depreciation.

Turns out the market sells whole cars, too, as well as sugar cane juice, fried trout and brand new Lacoste polos for around 14 bolivianos, or about $2.

Tourist cabanas, for visitors without a guide, are 60 bolivianos a night per person.
