Alcantarí International Airport (IATA: SRE, ICAO: SLAL) serves Sucre, the constitutional capital of Bolivia, replacing the older Juana Azurduy de Padilla Airport that was located closer to the city center. The airport is situated in the Alcantarí area, approximately 35 kilometers south of Sucre, at an elevation of roughly 2,800 meters (9,186 feet) above sea level.

City & Place Guide

Bolivia's white colonial capital blending history, culture, and Andean charm.

Sucre is Bolivia's constitutional capital and a UNESCO World Heritage city, renowned for its well-preserved Spanish colonial architecture and brilliant white-washed buildings. Sitting at around 2,750 meters above sea level, it offers a milder climate than many other Andean cities, making it a comfortable base for exploring the region.

The city is home to prestigious universities, vibrant markets, and a lively arts scene. Visitors come for its rich history, outstanding museums, and proximity to remarkable dinosaur fossil sites. The warm and welcoming local culture, combined with excellent cafés and chocolate shops, makes Sucre one of Bolivia's most enjoyable destinations.

  • •Plaza 25 de Mayo — the elegant main square surrounded by iconic white colonial buildings.
  • •Casa de la Libertad — the historic hall where Bolivia's independence was signed in 1825.
  • •Parque Cretácico — outdoor park featuring thousands of real dinosaur footprints on a massive rock face.
  • •Museo Textil Etnográfico ASUR — celebrates intricate indigenous weaving traditions of the region.
  • •Cathedral of Sucre — stunning 16th-century baroque cathedral dominating the city's skyline.
  • •Mercado Central — bustling indoor market perfect for fresh produce, local snacks, and atmosphere.

Getting around: Sucre is compact and very walkable in its historic center; taxis are plentiful, affordable, and the main way to reach destinations outside the center. City microbuses (micros) cover most neighborhoods for a nominal fare. There is no urban rail, and rideshare apps are not widely used, so negotiating fares directly with taxi drivers is standard practice.

Best time: May through October, the dry season, offers the most sunshine and comfortable temperatures for sightseeing.

Local food: Try llajwa-spiced salteñas for breakfast, hearty peanut soup (sopa de maní), and Sucre's famously acclaimed artisan chocolate at local shops like Tabol or Para Ti.
