Sucre (Bolivia) - Wink Travel Guide

Sucre is a city in Chuquisaca Department, Bolivia. It is officially the capital of the country, though most of the government is based in La Paz.

Its center is a UNESCO world heritage site, and it is a pretty city with welcoming people and a peaceful atmosphere.

Famed throughout Bolivia for its pretty, well-kept centre, and for its agreeable climate, Sucre – "la ciudad blanca" or white city – is probably the most tranquil city in Bolivia (or perhaps South America). While it offers specific attractions in the form of historic buildings and renowned theatre as well as indigenous culture and prehistoric sites in the surrounding towns and countryside, the highlight of Sucre might be its relaxed atmosphere, which detains many travellers for far longer than expected.
