Sucre Travel Guide

You'll need your sunglasses in white-washed Sucre

Bolivia's wannabe capital, the low-key, white-washed city of Sucre has been recognised by UNESCO as a colonial gem.

You'll definitely need your sunglasses when wandering around the historic centre of the so-called 'La Ciudad Blanca'.

The leafy main plaza is an elegant public meeting centre and also the focus for the frequent political demonstrations that paralyze Sucre (the city is vying to be the political capital of Bolivia).
