Sucre, the white capital of Bolivia
Having said about the time you can spend trekking around Sucre, the capital of Bolivia is known for its white buildings.
It gives a weird impression especially if you compare this city to others in Bolivia.
I can suggest to walk around for a couple of days and visit the little square of La Recoleta, the hill from which is possible to have a nice panoramic view of the city. There is a cool bar too, the Mirador cafe.
Nice view from the top are available also visiting the Convento de San Felipe Neri or the Iglesia de la Merced, which is also a coffee bar and a restaurant.
Sucre is super famous also for its park dedicated to the dinosaurs, the Parquet Cretácico. It's actually the largest collection of the world.
A nice walk must include also the central square 25 de Mayo, and the Parquet Bolivar, where I found also one of the best coffee bar in South America (remember I'm Italian), Time&Coffee.
And don't be afraid to eat with the Bolivians at the Central market, opened till late, followed by some chocolates. Yeah, in Sucre you can find many chocolaterie.
Most Europeans also stay longer in Sucre studying Spanish. It's very cheap. About 35 Bolivianos per hour.
Last but not least, don't forget to go to Tarabuco for the Sunday market. Just take a local but for 10 Bolivianos.
I was lucky as there was the Fiesta Patronal. It is very colourful and I got the chance to listen to some Bolivian music and to see some of the traditional masks.
Plenty of museums too. I'll just mention the one about how the indigenous art, the Bolivian textile.
