Cochabamba (pop. 410,000), the nation's third-largest city, is noted for its shopping, pleasant climate, a good archaeological museum and the Inca ruins at nearby Incallajta. The cancha, or market, in Cochabamba is one of the largest in the country and is a good place to buy handicrafts. If you are there on Sunday, try to find a chicharron - a cookout where pork is deep fried in huge vats over open fires and served with potatoes and chicha (pronounced CHEE-cha), a traditional alcoholic beverage made from corn.
