Sucre Travel Guide: 71 reviews and 140 photos

Sucre, the white city of Bolivia (as Arequipa in Peru).

Really beautiful town with great cathedral and other beautiful buildings in colonial style. Besides there is a building constructed by Gustave Eiffel and for this reason as well a little (really little) copy of the tower of Eiffel (it´s for children normally), just next to this old train.

Last visit to Sucre: Aug 1997

Hey there! Great stuff on Sucre! I also saw this great town during my 3 months in Bolivia. Potosi was also on the itinerary. Thanks for bringing it all back. It definitely is a special place!

EL, I didn't make it up to La Recoleta when I was in Sucre, so really appreciated that tip. Did you get to see the dinosaur tracks at the cement plant? BTW, the bus station in La Paz was designed by Eiffel. I did not realize his influence in Bolivia.
