Abstract

Among the Free Walking Tour in the city of La Paz, the ride at 4650 meters above sea level by bicycle through the route of death and the circuits of extreme tourism that surround the Andean capital of Bolivia, every Tuesday and Sunday in the city of El Alto is given appointment to a fight of cholitas. The market and the State exotically produce a cultural consumer good to sell to a public, mostly foreign, the dominant emblem of Bolivian ethnicity: the chola.  But what is it to be a chola? Why do they fight? What imaginaries of the nation are at stake among the cries of an excited public, businessmen and women in polleras and bowler hats?
