Description

Our tour begins with a visit to a renowned Indigenous textile art center, where you’ll discover the rich traditions and meanings behind ancestral Andean weaving. Here, you'll learn how each color, symbol, and technique tells stories of identity, spirituality, and resistance passed down through generations. After this immersive introduction, the tour continues to the iconic 25 de Mayo Square, the heart of Sucre’s colonial history. Surrounded by whitewashed neoclassical buildings, your guide will bring to life the dramatic events of Bolivia’s War of Independence and the city’s role in the nation’s foundation. As you stroll through the city’s historic streets, you’ll admire its preserved colonial architecture and sense the legacy of a time when Sucre was the political and cultural center of the region. The final stop takes you to La Recoleta, the oldest part of Sucre, offering panoramic views and a peaceful atmosphere.
