sucre is known as “bolivia’s most beautiful city” as well as “the symbolic heart of the nation.” it was in sucre where bolivia’s independence was proclaimed and it is recognized in the constitution as the nation’s capital. *in case you didn’t know, bolivia does have two official capitals for this reason: la paz and sucre*
truly, it’s an alluring city-and although it doesn’t have a wealth of things to do per say….i can definitely understand why people end up staying a little longer than originally intended. somehow it just sort of captures you.
the few days that we were there the weather was literally perfect, and i couldn’t help but soak up every second of it-especially with the looming realization that i will be blasted with winter in less than a week, the minute i step off of the plane in beautiful denver colorado. we created our own adventurous walking tour around town, had a lovely lunch in leafy courtyard, sat on the roof of a church for at least an hour and a half in the warm sunshine, visited the museum of liberty, sampled sucre’s famous chocolate, met interesting people, people watched in the main plaza and wandered into gorgeous buildings and patio’s. it was a delight!
