Rantepao’s main market is held every six days; ask around in town for the exact day. It also operates daily in a reduced capacity. The main market is a very big, social occasion that draws crowds from all over Tana Toraja. There's a 10,000Rp charge to enter the livestock market, where the leading lights from the buffalo community are on parade; many of the animals cost more than a small car. Pasar Bolu is 2km northeast of town and easily accessible by bemo.
