• Ride a lion at Plaza 25 de Mayo.

• Sucre is a popular place to learn Spanish and to volunteer, due to it's temperate climate compared to the rest of Bolivia. There are many Spanish schools and volunteer projects including the Fox Language Academy[2], which is a useful place to learn Spanish, or volunteer as an English teacher. Fifty percent of the study fee at Fox goes towards paying for Bolivians to learn English. Fox are well connected and can also put people in touch with other language schools and other volunteer projects, such as orphanages and hospitals.

By Plane

Since the government of Bolivia pulled the plug on the national carrier, Lloyd Aero Boliviano, no international airlines currenlty serve Sucre's Lajas Tambo airport. Aerosur, a domestic carrier, operates flights to Santa Cruz, La Paz, and Cochabama Aerosur Route Map.

The airport is about 10 km from the center, and the only reliable transportation to the center is by taxi. The airport is notorious for closures in inclement weather. Sometimes no flights arrive or depart for several days! It is always worth checking ahead before arriving as the airport has limited waiting areas. It does have several shops, including a shop selling the chocolate the city is locally famous for.

Sucre is a small town with regular hop-on buses and plentiful taxis. A tourist bus or private transport is needed to visit some of the attractions outside of Sucre, such as Tarabuco market and the dinosaur footprints. Mostly you will not move more than five blocks from Plaza 25 de Mayo, the main square.

Sucre is famous for it's tapestries, which are sold at Tarabucco market and shops all around the town. Different tribes or family groups from the villages that surround Sucre all have their own unique style, which is shown in their work by using different colours or symbols. Some tapestries can take up to a year for one person to make, depending on size and complexity. Travellers can help support this tradition by purchasing the tapestries from Tarabucco market, or - at a cheaper price - from the many shops in the town. The best tapestries are sold in Fair Trade stores and at the ethnographic museum.

Locally knitted sweaters, scarves and related items are a good bargain, especially those made from alpaca wool.

Sucre is also famous for its chocolates, and those sold by Para Ti are probably the best. It will not put the finer chocolate shops of Brussels out of business, but Para Ti chocolates are a tasty souvenir available at several shops near the central plaza and at the airport.

Sucre offers a wide range of eateries from street vendors and stalls in the markets to elegant restaurants. The large numbers of students mean there are many interesting but inexpensive places to get a filling meal. Probably the cheapest lunches are had upstairs in the market.
