The White City
The White City Sucre is renowned for being one of South America’s most impressive colonial cities, making it the perfect
starting point for Tours in Bolivia. The city has some of the best Spanish colonial architecture in South America. A number
of restaurants, cafes, and hotels reside within these centuries-old edifices, which are as charming as they are historic.
White-walled buildings, elegant balconies, leafy patios, and bright terracotta rooftops with imposing steeples
dominate the city center, creating an old-world charm that is unlike any other.
Sucre has a youthful population due to its many large and prestigious universities. As a result, the nightlife is buzzing from
Thursday to Saturday, most of which is based within the city’s colonial center.
Discover Sucre
GASTRONOMY
With international influences from all over the world, Sucre’s food scene is a mix of Bolivian and indigenous cuisine, mixed with European flairs. Sucre is a great city to try a variety of Bolivian specialties including chorizo, salteñas, pique macho or Andean stirfry, and fricasé - a spicy pork or chicken soup that is popular in the highlands. The most famous dish from Sucre, mondongo is a spicy pork stew accompanied by ground locoto, garlic and peppers, served on top of a generous portion of choclo. Much like fricasé, mondongo is a popular weekend option as it is said to provide relief from a lengthy drinking session.
CULTURE
Sucre is a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site, because of its colonial history, very present in the architecture of the historic center of the city. The city is recognized for the integration of Spanish and European culture with the pre-Hispanic indigenous one. Sucre lies on the frontier between the Highland with Aymara and Quechua culture and the lowland of Guarani indigenous people. Because of this, you can experience in the streets of Sucre all kinds of cultural expressions, visible in the clothing, handicrafts, and food products, all part of daily life. Visit and admire traditional indigenous weaving in the villages and communities around Sucre or in the museums and shops in the city.
NATURE
The mountainous landscape offers a variety of tours on foot, bicycle, or motorized, from light to heavy. You can visit several places with dinosaur tracks, including the world’s largest collection, rock paintings, a forest, a meteorite crater, and National Park El Palmar, among others. The Altiplano area where Sucre is located in the Andes is geographically advantaged with a series of rugged north–south mountain ranges, scarred with long narrow valleys formed by rivers draining to the east. Blessed with rich alluvial soils, and midway in climate and altitude between the cold of the Altiplano and the tropical heat of the lowlands, these central valleys have historically been among the most fertile and habitable areas in Bolivia, and offer visitors lush landscapes to enjoy during their stay.
ADVENTURE
There are several trekking paths around Bolivia’s capital city. You can set your foot on the road to Las Siete Cascadas, The Seven Waterfalls, or head to the two to three days trek to Maragua crater. Sucre also has a surprising number of places for going climbing and, whatever your level and previous experience, the mountains surrounding Sucre offer a range of walls to try – all with spectacular views. Try climbing the intermediate level walls of Sica-Sica, or trekking the nearby Cerro Churuquella for an adventure that won’t take all day, but will still get your heart rate up with some spectacular views of the area.
