A busy open-air produce market at Cochabamba, Bolivia in 1968. Sellers of fruit and vegetables vie for trade under corrugated iron roofs on their stalls. A sign indicates that oil (aceite) is also sold. Cochabamba (Quchapampa or Quechua) is a city and municipality in central Bolivia in a valley in the Andes mountain range. It is known as the ‘City of Eternal Spring’ or ‘The Garden City’ and is the largest city between La Paz and Santa Cruz de la Sierra – a vintage 1960s photograph.

A sign indicates that oil (aceite) is also sold. Cochabamba (Quchapampa or Quechua) is a city and municipality in central Bolivia in a valley in the Andes mountain range. It is known as the ‘City of Eternal Spring’ or ‘The Garden City’ because of its spring-like temperatures all year round. It is the largest city between La Paz and Santa Cruz de la Sierra. It has been a settlement since the Pre-Inca period, and is today an important cultural and commercial centre. This image is from an old amateur 35mm colour transparency – a vintage 1960s photograph.
