There are several markets held almost every day in and around the city of Pya. Pya-Hodo, Tcharé (very nice, and lively from 2pm) on Mondays; Pya, Kouméa, Tchitchao on Fridays. You can find a little bit of everything, from vegetables to dog meat, from cereals to loincloths. In some cases, you will have to negotiate prices. The market in Tcharé is famous for its items made by the blacksmiths of Wiyamdé and the potters of Tcharé. The late morning is perfect for strolling through these markets and soaking up the local atmosphere.
