Bolivian superstitions often blend indigenous beliefs with Catholic traditions. The “ch’alla” ritual, involving sprinkling alcohol on new possessions, is believed to bring good fortune. Many Bolivians avoid sweeping at night, fearing it will sweep away good luck. Offering coca leaves to Pachamama (Mother Earth) is a common practice for good harvests and safe travels. The sight of a fox is considered a bad omen, often interpreted as a warning of impending misfortune.
