Central Highlands
Sucre
Bolivia's constitutional capital and its most beautiful colonial city — a UNESCO-listed centre of whitewashed façades, a temperate climate and the place the country was founded.
Sucre is compact, elegant and easy on clients: mild altitude, walkable streets, courtyard hotels in restored mansions and a calm that contrasts with La Paz. The Casa de la Libertad, where Bolivia's independence was declared, anchors a dense historic core.
Around the city, the weaving communities of Tarabuco and Jalq'a produce some of the Andes' most striking textiles, and the Cal Orck'o quarry holds one of the world's largest sets of dinosaur trackways.
Bolivexa treats Sucre as the cultural and restorative middle of a Bolivia route — a place to slow down, with private access to museums, textile cooperatives and colonial architecture.
