The cobbled streets of Sucre are lined with ancient churches, colonial buildings and charming whitewashed houses. A slow-paced visit can be spent cafe-hopping or dipping in and out of Sucre’s cathedrals, convents and markets, while the more adventurous can go quad-biking, hiking in the surrounding hillsides, or paragliding. From the skies, you’ll gaze down on dramatic Andean landscapes that 60 million years ago were inhabited by dinosaurs and, on an excursion from the city, you can see the footprints they left behind.
For a true taste of Sucre, stay at the Paradro Hotel, a converted 18th century house.
