About Sucre for Solo Travelers
Bolivia's gleaming white colonial capital at a gentler altitude — solo travelers come to Sucre to study Spanish, wander its beautiful streets, and see 68 million-year-old dinosaur footprints in the cliffs outside town.
Solo Travel Tips· Solo Friendly
Sucre is Bolivia's white colonial constitutional capital and easily the country's most pleasant solo city — the colonial centre is beautiful, walkable, and safe. The altitude is much gentler than La Paz (2,750m). The language school scene makes Sucre one of South America's best Spanish immersion destinations. The dinosaur footprints at Cal Orck'o are a genuinely remarkable half-day solo trip.
