  • Sucre Travel Guide & City Information

The city of Sucre, located on the edge of the Anden region near Potosi was founded in 1538 as a city of La Plata and soon became capital of the audiencia of Charcas. In 1992 UNESCO declared the city a Humanities Cultural Patrimony. The long isolation of the city has helped it to preserve its courtly charm: naerly all buildings in the centre are painted in their original colonial white.

In the vicinity of Sucre you will find Jatun Yampara, a handicraft center redeeming ancient weaving techniques, and Tarabuco village, where every Sunday there is a colorful native market.
