Checking in at an off-the-beaten-path destination in South America, known as the 'Tibet of South America,' not many people are aware of it

If it weren't for the irresistible Salar de Uyuni, also known as the mirror of the sky, many might not know about the highland nation of Bolivia, let alone its capital, Sucre. Sucre has been the legal capital for over a hundred years, but various government institutions are still located in La Paz, a two-day drive away. The city is not large, nestled in a valley surrounded by mountains. Sucre is more like a cultural representative, having been designated a World Cultural Heritage site in 1991 because of its well-preserved old town. The white houses are neatly arranged, with architecture that has a distinct Spanish style. They are usually white and are decorated with brick corners, balconies, cast iron lattice patterns, and wooden shutters, all of which give a sense of the era. This is a city built by Spanish colonizers, with the main attractions mostly concentrated in the old town area, including churches, museums, and so on. The city sits at an altitude of nearly 3000 meters and is called the 'Tibet of South America.' On the streets, you can see indigenous people wearing traditional clothing, which really resembles the Tibetan attire of my country. Compared to many other countries I've visited, the city of Sucre is obviously a bit 'behind the times.' Here, you cannot use cards or online payments. There doesn't seem to be any must-see attractions, but the charm of Sucre lies in its historical flavor. Wandering through the streets and alleys, looking for traces of history, you might also find some unique shops.
