If you’re coming from a high altitude, you will have no problems in Sucre. It’s not as crazy as La Paz or Copacabana, but it’s still pretty high. Sucre has an altitude of a little over 9,000 feet. Good news for you my fellow traveler, as of the 2020s, with the change of presidents, US citizens are no longer required to get one. Obtaining a visa was fairly straightforward and I got one at the New York Bolivian embassy for a hefty fee of $160 USD. That’s why it was quite rare to find many American travelers there. While most countries don’t need a visa while traveling to Bolivia, the US relationship with the country made it mandatory to get one in the past. My last stop was Santa Cruz to which I took a flight from Sucre.After the tour, I took an overnight bus to Sucre and stayed there for 4 days.My next stop was a trip from La Paz to Uyuni for a 3-day tour.I returned to Copacabana to take a bus back to La Paz and stayed there for 4 days.Then, I took a boat to Isla del Sol on Lake Titicaca with an overnight stay.I flew into La Paz to take a bus into Copacabana and stayed there a night to acclimate.In the La Paz post, I also include a short summary of the costs for this trip. 2 weeks in Bolivia itineraryīefore we dive into the Sucre details here is an overview of my Bolivia itinerary with links to other guides I created.

I hope when you travel you don’t skip over it as it was certainly one of the highlights of my trip.Īfter being a little on the edge in La Paz and then spending 3 days in the Salt Flats, Sucre felt like paradise. Sucre is welcoming, cheap, and interesting. Most travelers get stuck there because it’s so simply very hard to leave this city.
