Sucre · Things to do

A 17th-century monastery above town with arcaded courtyards and the best panorama of the white rooftops.

Cypress avenues and elaborate family tombs. Locals treat it as a park, and it is unexpectedly beautiful.

Jalq'a weavings in deep red and black are the regional signature. Buy through ASUR so the weavers are paid properly.

A pink neo-everything folly built by Bolivia's only prince and princess, 5km from town. Faded and very odd.

Built between 1559 and 1712, with the jewel-encrusted Virgin of Guadalupe in its side chapel museum.
