Sucre

Visited the official capital of Bolivia (which is not La Paz as many people believe including me before visiting) - Sucre! Sucre is a white colonial city with many official buildings, some of them still used but many powers were moved to La Paz as well. The streets of the old town are super cute and you can enjoy many beautiful views from small churches (one of them is now a café!) or the monastery La Recoleta. Sucre is a very lively student city and there is always a lot of (young) people on the go. At the central market you can find endlessly fruits and cheap dishes as well as literally anything else you need. During a city tour, held by a former president of the university, we learned a lot about the history of Bolivia with the important independence document signed in Sucre in 1825, traditional food and some romantic stories in the beautiful Parque Simón Bolívar. When leaving I still had a lot of things to do on my list so I could have definitely stayed longer in this city, especially due to this sweet garden in my amazing hostel!Meer informatie
