Sucre is stunning. It is known as the "White City of the Americas".  Its numerous colonial buildings are all painted in white and topped with shiny red tile roofs. Set in a valley surrounded by low mountains, Sucre is small (population 150,000) so that it is very easy to explore on foot.

As a university town it is known as the centre of learning. Sucre has many museums, a lively central plaza, shops and restaurants. The city has a youthful, energetic feel despite its old-fashioned look created by the numerous ancient mansions and colonial churches.

Sucre is a charming colonial city, and its nearby villages are also fanstastic to explore. Only a short distance form the centre of the city, the Indigenous population still maintain their customs and colorful dress. Locals and visitors are attracted to the markets where food, textiles and other products are sold in barter fashion.
