Introduction

Sucre

Beautiful Sucre is the constitutional capital of Bolivia. The city was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991 because of its wonderfully well-preserved colonial center with many 16th century religious buildings. With a fifth the number of inhabitants as the administrative capital La Paz, Sucre has a very cosy feel to it. Wandering around the cobbled streets at mid-day or reading a newspaper at an abandoned square, you would almost think you're back in the 1920s in this sympathetic city.
