Sucre Hostels - Reviews and Rates

We arrived early in Sucre after a reasonable night bus from La Paz. As we couldn`t check in to our hotel we headed up to the view point over the city. A steep walk was rewarded with stunning views and a performance from a boy army... VIVA SUCRE; VIVA BOLIVIA!

After wandering around the square, we took a dodgy bus to see the `famous`dinos...

Hola Everyone!

About a week and a half ago we touched down in South America! First stop La Paz, Bolivia where we had to stop and catch our breath thanks to the mix of altitude, pollution, and cigarette smoke - coming from a country where smoking is illegal in public places it is hard to get used to the clouds of smoke that surround us in...

Sucre is located about 2800 meters above sea level.

Up to Sucre in our travels swine flu had only been a bit of an issue when arriving in new countries but by Sucre we´d noticed practically everybody dealing with the public was now wearing face masks. We´re not sure who it is for the benefit of, but we were suprised to be seperated from ...

Le matin, nous voulons visiter la cathedrale mais c'est un peu la panique car il y a une panne de courant dans toute la ville. On se ballade dans le marche, les echoppes sont eclairees a la bougie. L'apres midi je me rend au Museo Textil-etnografico. Ce musee tres bien fait et tres interessant parle des tribus de la region de Sucre et de leur hi...

We arrived in Sucre on Tuesday the 17th of March, St. Patrick's day for the uninitiated, and someone's birthday too, can´t quite remember who... Anyway, as a result we headed to the Joy Ride cafe, the local gringo haunt, and celebrated in style. The following day was the arrival of Sophie, Jo and Antny from Tupiza, so we repeated the trick for t...

After a relatively comfortable overnight bus from La Paz to Sucre (well Gareth had some old bat carrying a few extra pounds trying to pummel his legs by forcing her chair further back than was possible, so then he spent the journey kicking the back of her chair, sound familiar Glenys?) we arrived into Sucre early on a Sunday morning. In need of ...

Wed 24.9.08: Bolivia, Sucre: ("The City of Four Names") PERSONAL: Wednesday: We left Potosi for Sucre in a taxi (taking 3hrs). My taxi driver owns a green racing car and at times his taxi was travelling at a speed of 120! Sometimes he overtook cars and trucks in binding corners! I must admit that it was thrilling to be travelling fast after bein...

Escaped the madness of La Paz to enjoy the pleasant tranquility of The White City ("La Ciudad Blanca") , Sucre. Sucre is a very nice , clean and aesthetically pleasing city with lots of attractive colonial architecture , painted in the traditional white hence the city's nickname. It is understandably a UNESCO world heritage site and the official...

When coming to altitude it is recommended to drink plenty of water, not eat a lot and to take it easy. Even Alvaro told us this. So what were Alvaro, Sinead, Cara, Jess, Emma and I doing drinking in a bar last night until 1.30am? To make it even worse we danced on the chairs and tables with the rest of the place. It was a good laugh. Problem was...

After our eventful exit from Potosi we arrived safe and sound in Sucre about 7 in the evening. Straight to the bus station to book our tickets back to La Paz for the next day and then out to sample the city. We went for a lovely Chinese dinner and after a bottle of vino decided that we wanted to go out, but do you think we could find anywhere?? ...
