“Amsterdam” Café, Bar and Restaurant
Bar, Cafe and Restaurant only one block away from the main square. Perfect place for lunch, hang out on the sunny patio, have a few drinks at the big cozy bar around Happy Hour and ideal for candle light dinner. Capacity for groups up to a 80 persons. Of course we serve beautiful pastry and have Bolivian fair-trade coffee from our Italian machine.
It all started when Sayda Quispe helped cooking for the big Aymara family at her home under the volcano “Tunupa” at the Salt Lake of Uyuni. She learned from her grandmother and her mam how to prepare the traditional Bolivian plates, backing her own bread and take care of the many little brothers and sisters. Everything in and on an old stove with lama-shit fuel! The rest of the days she had to work on the Quinoa fields, for study there was no money, especially not if you are a girl… At her 17 years, she decided to look for work in Hotels and Restaurants in Uyuni, La Paz and Chile.
After meeting her husband from the Netherlands and getting married, Sayda finally could create her dream: opening a restaurant! First, they set up the Café Florin in 2008 in Sucre with some other Dutchies, meanwhile selling souvenirs to travelers. Sayda’s first own restaurant had to wait till 2014 , when she opened the Cosmo Café on the main Plaza of Sucre and very quickly it became a success thanks to the unique flavours and great service provided by a great staff.
After being trained full time and double shifts(!) by a International Chef from Australia called “Red”, Sayda now wanted to know more and more and finally got the opportunity to go to study on a serious level. For that, she had to go to the booming center of Gastronomy nowadays: Lima- Peru. She took a full sabbatical year to go to the USIL (Universidad San Ignacio de Loyola) to graduate for Culinary Art, Barista and Patisserie. Coming back, she needed a bigger kitchen to work in for all those new ideas and “Amsterdam” was born.
She showed the world that you can get anything done with the right energy, when you love what you do; even if you are born in a clay hut at the salt deserts!!!
When you visit Café Bar Restaurant “Amsterdam”, just ask for Sayda and she will come out of the kitchen (what she calls her “cave”) to say hello.
Templo de San Miguel Arcángel
Bolivia’s richest interior decoration is found in San Miguel Church
The old Jesuit church, formerly called St. James the Greater, consists of a single nave and has a Latin cross plan with a side chapel. The church has one of the country’s most beautiful Mudejar coffered ceilings, five altarpieces and a gorgeous baroque-style pulpit. The two Renaissance portals inside the church give access to the baptistery and the Chapel of Loreto.
One of the city’s tallest towers as well as the ashlar masonry portals characterize the church’s exterior. The church’s main portal was realized in the Mannerist style and the portal leading to the chapel in the Renaissance style.
Chuflay
“Chuflay” refers to a Bolivian drink. The name has been used ever since the day an English train driver of the Bolivia Railway Co., who used to enjoy his whisky or gin with ginger ale in the dining car, realized that his bottles had been forgotten. Concerned, the waiter offered him a “Llallagua” instead. The name of this singani-based drink with soda, ice and lemon stems from a tin mine, whereas singani is a typical Bolivian muscatel brandy. Not being familiar with this beverage, the train driver rejected it for fear of a hangover until his craving got the better of him. The next day, not having experienced any hangover symptoms, he commented “sure fly” when ordering his “Llallagua”. CHUFLAY is how the waiter, who spoke no English, ended up pronouncing it.
Templo de Santo Domingo
It is believed that the Dominican Order built Santo Domingo Church on a plot of land given away by Gonzalo Pizarro. The enlarged and remodeled church has two portals: the lesser portal in the Early Renaissance style is the older of the two, whereas the triple baroque portal with Mudejar touches forms the main entrance.
The church’s interior features several cedar carved and gilded altarpieces. Most of them are built in the baroque style, the altarpiece depicting Saint Dominic is rococo and the main altar neoclassical in style.
The superb sculpture of the Christ of the Great Power (Cristo del Gran poder) in one of the aisles continues to be venerated some fifty years after having been placed here. The legend goes that it was found in the Gran Poder House, which used to belong to the marquis of Casa Palacio and now houses the Charcas Museum.
Convento y Monasterio de Santa Clara
The monastery was founded in 1636 by its generous benefactress Doña María de Ceballos. Her heart was set on establishing Franciscan nuns dedicated to St Clair in Sucre, back then called Charcas. Independent nuns’ cells are situated on two floors around the lovely patio of what is still a running, enclosed monastery. The arches are supported by ornate sandstone columns.
In the museum’s two rooms you can discover the paintings of the renowned artist Bernardo Bitti, major sculptures, precious furniture, jewelry, gold plate, valuable liturgical objects and baroque musical instruments. Don’t miss the magnificent 18th-century organ in the single-nave church.
Sucre Spanish School
The majority of our teachers are university-educated and speak either English or another language. Sucre Spanish School teachers are trained and qualified to teach Spanish as a foreign language. Nearly all of them have been teaching for at least 3 years. You can opt for changing teacher every week in order to diversify your learning experience. Our school offers far more than just a standard language training program found at other institutions. You get the opportunity to learn Spanish while enjoying an amazing amount of flexibility. Our courses have been specially geared to the needs of our students. Undeterred by conventional methods, students will be able to progress at their own pace. By providing the possibility to focus on speaking, writing or reading skills (or a combination of the three), we make sure that you learn the Spanish you really need. Our teachers are used to teach beginners as well as intermediate and advanced students from all over the world.

While the room decoration follows essentially variations on the same theme, the artistically draped weavings from the Yampara culture are on display in each room.

Museo de Arte Indígena (ASUR)
The Museum of Indigenous Art is also known as the textile museum. It is a must-do for anyone interested in the indigenous communities, especially those of the Sucre area. The museum particularly focuses on the woven Jalq’a and Tarabuco textiles and provides a real insight into these local cultures.
The museum consists of 9 exhibition rooms. You can also watch a weaver at work, giving a live demonstration of the ancient techniques used to create the elaborate designs. Unique, high-quality textiles and ceramics made by indigenous artisans are on sale in the museum’s shop.
One of the museum’s main targets is to reveal the existence of indigenous art by promoting ethnic textiles. The museum pays homage to those artists and artisans who continue to conserve and develop their own original culture, with roots lost in the depths of their pre-Columbian past. The exhibitions bring to light the complex creative thought, deeply rooted in the ethnic culture and meaningfully expressed in the weavings as well as their highly technical quality.
The museum is an integral part of the Indigenous Art Revival Program, initiated by ASUR in 1986. From its beginning, the program mainly aimed at reviving the traditional textiles and generate additional income for the indigenous communities of the Jalq’a and Tarabuco cultures. The program now numbers more than 800 associate female weavers as well as 200 male tapestry weavers and embroiderers.
Hacienda Huata
A high level of comfort and conveniences await you at this old, colonial country house. Spread on 52 ha, the private property comprises 22 terraces extending from the edge of a ravine to the summit of a pine-covered mountain, allowing you to fully connect with nature. The thermal waters from our mythical, 400-year-old hill of volcanic origin flow into our 4 pools that are perfect for a swim. A part from the gardens full of exotic fruit trees and local plants, our piece of land boasts rocky formations and lots of trails for outdoor lovers. Given its hillside location and all the pools, the hacienda of Huata is a truly charming place that is situated only 13 km from Sucre away at an altitude of 2,500 m. Although the main house was built in 1935, its most significant parts were added in 1850 by president Manuel Isidoro Belzu.

Museos Universitarios: Museo Colonial Charcas, Galería de Arte Contemporánea, Museo Antropológico
The Gran Poder House has been owned by the Pontifical University of San Francisco Xavier de Chuquisaca since 1957. However, the Charcas Colonial Museum dates back to 27 May 1939, when it was founded on initiative of the Athenaeum of Chuquisaca Fine Arts. It is now one of the country’s most important museums. The building of the viceregal period was financed by the Spanish Treasury before it became the property of the first marquis of Casa Palacio. It is known as the House of Great Power due to the Sevillian sculpture of the Christ that used to be venerated by parishioners from all over the city in the family’s private chapel on Fridays.
The Charcas Colonial Museum houses an outstanding collection of viceregal art. Paintings by European Mannerist and baroque masters as well as mestizo masterpieces from the Charcas, Potosi and Cuzco schools are displayed alongside famous local masters like Melchor Pérez de Holguín and Gaspar Miguel de Berrio. The museum also features silverware, sculptures as well as 17th to 19th century furniture.
The Contemporary Art Gallery mainly focuses on promoting artwork from the Department of Chuquisaca. There is also a collection of paintings by Bolivian artists of the 20th century like Cecilio Guzmán de Rojas of the nativist movement.
Archeology, folklore and ethnography make up the three thematic exhibitions of the Archaeological and Anthropological Museum that also spotlights Chuquisaca. The museum’s 3,000 pieces include pottery, weapons, sumptuary objects and different tools from roughly 3,500 years ago until the Spanish occupation and colonization. The mummified human remains and trepanned skulls from different ancient cultures of the pre-Columbian era as well as the reproductions of six rock painting sites are especially worth seeing.

CHOCOLATES PARA TI
The “Para Ti” chocolate factory is located in Sucre, Bolivia’s constitutional and historical capital city, renowned for being “the city of chocolate” due to its chocolate-producing tradition. Going back to the 19th century, the chocolate used to be made for the miners working in the Potosi silver mines. The wild cocoa comes from the Amazon region of Bolivia. It is collected and processed by farming communities living in the rainforest. Artisans use natural materials like wicker, bamboo, wood and banana tree bark for the packaging as well as textiles that are handwoven by countrywomen. “Para Ti” products, available in over thirty flavours, can be bought in all of Bolivia’s cities. Our Sucre-based factory is open for visitors and in our three central stores you can savour hot chocolate, ice cream, cake and other delicious desserts. Committed to social responsibility, the company provides programmes that are aimed at the wellbeing of its employees. They support health and sports and are dedicated to the preservation of the city’s historical heritage as well as the environment.

Casa de la Libertad
Casa de la Libertad is considered to be Bolivia’s most important historic monument. This is the spot where the events leading to the independence of the country occurred and where the Bolivian Republic emerged. Both emblematic and symbolic, it continues to be a civic cultural space where the country’s most important ceremonial acts take place.
In 1621, the Society of Jesus started construction work on the building, which was going to be part of the Pontifical University of San Francisco Xavier. The building itself is an architectural gem of the viceregal period. The museum is located in the old single-storey cloister. It is surrounded by galleries and granite columns support its roof. Architectural highlights include the huge, native cedar door studded with bronze nails and featuring big knockers as well as the Independence Hall with its carved and gilded, Hispanic and American Native choir, the fancy seating as well as the multicoloured Mudejar coffered ceiling.
The domestic chapel of the university was the main hall where candidates used to defend their PhD thesis. The deputies of the General Assembly of the Departments of Upper Peru issued the Declaration of Independence and proclaimed the Republic of Bolívar in this very hall on 6th of August 1825. Bolivia’s first constitution, drawn up by the liberator Simon Bolívar, and the basic laws of the new state were ratified within these walls. It was also here that Field Marshal Sucre was sworn in as the Republic’s first president.
The Liberty House became a museum in the second third of the 20th century. Invaluable artefacts are on display in the Independence Hall. Among them figure the Independence Act, the portraits of the liberators Simon Bolívar, Antonio José de Sucre and José Ballivian as well as two of their swords that were victoriously used in several battles in 1824 and 1841.
Portraits, medals and personal belongings of Bolivia’s presidents are shown in the Senate Room. Field Marshal Sucre Room is dedicated to the illustrious hero. The Macha flag, also known as the Belgrano flag and regarded as the most sacred patriotic symbol by Argentinians and Bolivians alike, is housed in the chapel-shaped alcove. The Hero Room highlights the portrait and the remains of the legendary guerrilla fighter Juana Azurduy de Padilla as well as the portrait of her guerrilla husband, Manuel Ascencio Padilla. The Honour Room is decorated with 19th century French furniture.
The library, the archives, and the map collection are open to national and international researchers.

Salvietti
The first papaya-flavoured sparkling soft drink was invented in Bolivia
Dante Salvietti, an Italian adventurer in the 1900s, went to the Bolivian Yungas and came across the papaya fruit. Impressed by its flavour, the idea of creating a papaya-flavoured soda occurred to him. In 1920, using what was cutting-edge technology for the time, he had bottles shipped from England to bottle what we now know as Salvietti Papaya. In 1930, he realizes another technological leap of the era by importing the bottle caps that are still used today. The drink first became popular with construction workers who used to snack on bread and Salvietti Papaya.

Cultura Yampara (Tarabuco)
Tarabuco is located at an altitude of 3,284 m above sea level in the Province of Yamparaez, in the Department of Chuquisaca. The town has a population of 20,000 and can be reached from Sucre in an hour and a half. Surrounded by Yampara weaving communities, this indigenous stronghold is renowned for its dances, music, clothing and traditions that are still alive and thriving today.
Tarabuco hosts Bolivia’s biggest rural market, a tradition carried over from colonial days. The people living in the surrounding villages attend the market wearing beautiful traditional clothes, especially noteworthy for the high quality of their weaving work. After Mass, which is said in Quechua, agricultural produce is bartered and textiles and handicrafts are sold, providing you with a fascinating opportunity to experience the living culture of Bolivia’s countryside. The Sunday market is the most important weekly event for the area’s different communities. Visitors will find plenty of opportunities to shop for souvenirs around the main square.
One of South America’s most stunning, native cultural events takes place every third Sunday in March. It recalls the indigenous people defeating the Spanish in the battle of Jumbate on 12 March 1816 during the war of independence. The festival also celebrates the renewal of life and abundance brought on by the rainy season. Pujllay is the Quechua word for “game”. The colorful parade moves towards the “Pukara”, a ladder-like altar that is richly decorated with food. The lavishly dressed dancers then tirelessly move in circles around the altar to the sound of different flutes as well as a horn clarinet. The sounds, dances and costumes evoke the ‘Tata Pujllay’, a demonic and fruitful entity with boundless energy. The Pujllay with its music and dances of the Yampara culture is a Unesco Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity listed since 2014.

Cal Orck’O Dinosaur Footprints, Dinosaur Park and Museum (Parque Cretácico)
Discovered in 1994, the huge Cal Orck’o limestone wall reveals the secrets of different dinosaur species that disappeared 68 million years ago. There are about 5055 dinosaur footprints belonging to at least 8 species, among which a world-record setting 581-metre trail left by a Theropod. The tracks are from the Late Cretaceous.
The dinosaur-themed Cretaceous Park, less than 300 m away, faces the limestone wall. It is one of South America’s most attractive tourist parks. The fabulous life-size replicas, true to their scientifically supported real-life appearance, are displayed in an authentic natural setting representing the last period of the age of dinosaurs in South America. The park features one of the largest dinosaur sculptures in the world, a 36 x 18-metre replica of a titanosaurus. As you step back into the past, our guided tours will make you understand and relive this majestic era.
Services offered by the dinosaur park include: guided tours to the wall with the dinosaur footprints at 12:00 noon and 1:00 pm; scenic viewers; an audiovisual room showing documentaries that help you understand the site’s importance in the past; a paleontological-themed museum; a gift shop as well as a lookout with great views of Sucre and the surrounding countryside.

Sucre Safety Tips
Sucre is considered to be a beautiful, laid-back city, so generally you will feel safe. However, it is always better to be safe than sorry. This is why the following safety tips might be useful to you.
Ask hotel staff which areas and sites are safe to walk in and which areas you should avoid
Keep your passport, credit cards, travel and other documents in a safe place
Stay alert if “police officers” ask to see your ID; they are not necessarily real police officers but could instead be delinquents looking to rob you
Always be aware what is going on around you, especially in crowded places
Do not accept any other passengers when taking a taxi
Use radio taxis to get back to your hotel late at night or in the early morning hours
Don’t accept any object from a stranger
Ignore people who want to help you clean your clothes after they got stained by paint, mustard, spittle or any other liquid; they are trying to distract you in order to steal your belongings
Use a travel or a tour agency for a safe trip to the surrounding area

Cordillera de los Frailes – Pueblos Jalq’a – Cráter de Maragua
One of the most amazing side trips from Sucre takes you to the dramatic Cordillera de los Frailes, revealing wonderful scenery as well as the incredibly rich culture of the indigenous Jalq’a people. Though the ridge of the Andean mountain range can be reached from the city in just over an hour, the villages within it feel worlds away. Nestled at the foot of the mountains, they can be reached via trekking routes, ideally during the dry season from April to October.
The treks start about 35 km outside of Sucre, at an altitude of 3’600 m above sea level in Chataquila. This is the place where Tomás Katari, the leader of an indigenous rebellion against the Spanish rule, was murdered. The sanctuary, an important place of pilgrimage at the 7th of August, consists of a chapel and a shrine dedicated to the miraculous Virgin of Guadalupe. Enjoy typical cordillera mountain vistas hiking the 4,5 km down to Chaunaca on the prehispanic trade road, more commonly known as the Inca Trail. Landscape-wise the alternative route via the two rock painting sites Pumamachay and Incamachay is equally nice. The paintings date back maybe 1’500 years for the first site and about 2’500 for the latter.
The area is the homeland of the Jalq’a people. They are Bolivia’s only indigenous community depicting the underworld in their textiles. Located in a crimson-red landscape, Potolo is the area’s largest village. It is possible to watch the Jalq’a women at work, allowing you to witness the ancient weaving techniques. The black and red weavings, called aqsus, represent the “ukhu pacha”, a dark and chaotic underworld, inhabited by scary, mythical beings called “khurus”. The zoomorphic and geometric patterns were originally used for clothing. The Indigenous Art Revival Program created by ASUR in 1986 started recovering the nearly lost, ancestral weaving techniques with the idea of strengthening the cultural integrity and generating additional income for the indigenous communities.
The crater of Maragua, surrounded by shell-shaped layers of multicoloured rock, provides an incredible setting for the two weaving villages Maragua and Irupampa. A cemetery that exists since prehistoric times can be found in the center of the crater. Hiking through the quiet pastureland behind the ridge, dotted with small farms, you might find yourself handing out coca leaves every now and then, as you make your way to a spot called Niñu Mayu. Here you will come across dinosaur footprints, embedded in a large sloping section of rock, making it easy to step back in time and picture dinosaurs escaping from the crater. The Garganta del Diablo (devil’s throat), a cavern with stalactites and stalagmites situated behind a 40-metre waterfall, is shrouded in legend and only a 15-minute walk from Maragua. The nearby community of Irupampa is also worth a detour in order to drop by the small museum set up and run by Crispín. He is a charismatic local, who has worked along with all the archeological experts who came to the area and is happy to share his passion for archeology, history and culture.
Museo Nacional de Etnografía y Folklore (MUSEF)
The Ethnographic and Folklore Museum (MUSEF) started as an institute of research and has established itself as a cultural space. It shows Bolivia’s folkloric and ethnic diversity from the pre-Columbian era to the present. The temporary exhibition rooms are dedicated to displaying living cultures; ethnic groups; objects made of leather, wood and earthenware; weavings and photographs among others things.
Don’t miss out on the superb permanent exhibition on the ground floor showcasing masks used in festivals and religious ceremonies in communities throughout Bolivia. Learn more about Bolivia’s traditional dances, ethnic groups, music, history and customs by watching a collection of short films in the museum’s video library.

Templo de San Felipe Neri
Construction work on the city’s most remarkable neoclassical church was started in 1795 and completed in 1800. The church, entirely built using stone from nearby Churuquella hill, is an imposing sight. It contains a single nave divided into four sections and houses noteworthy paintings by 18th- and 19th-century neoclassical artists. Famous people from the colonial and republican days are buried in the convent’s crypt.
Enjoy a gorgeous panoramic view from the ashlar masonry seats on the church’s roof terrace.
The adjacent María Auxiliadora School provides the entrance.
Templo de San Francisco
A makeshift structure was originally built on the church’s site by Brother Francisco de Aroca. It was later turned into a chapel, which makes San Francisco one of Sucre’s oldest churches. A new single-nave church was erected in 1581.
The church’s most remarkable features are its five types of Renaissance, Mudejar and baroque coffered ceilings. The main altar and the aisles feature gilded carvings.
The church’s crypt holds the remains of the Spanish conquerors who founded the city.
The two four-sided bell towers were built at the same time as the church. One of them houses the Liberty Bell, cast in 1800. It received its name after May 25, 1809, when it called the people to participate in the social movement, which history recalls as the First Cry for Independence.
Plaza 25 de Mayo
In colonial Sucre the main square, surrounded by the most important governmental, religious and civil buildings, was located in the heart of the city. Colonial life revolved around the Plaza Mayor or Plaza de Armas as it was called back then.
Its original layout as a square and its size still remain the same. Its main features like the diagonal and circular paths, the monuments dedicated to the liberators, the pavilion, the main stone fountain as well as other smaller fountains stem from the French influenced era that started after the country’s independence.
Sucre’s citizens used to go to the square to court; the women walking clockwise and the men anticlockwise around the square so that the men got the opportunity to greet the women each time they passed each other. Stories like this one add to the plaza’s charm.
Catedral Metropolitana
The cathedral is the most important religious building of Sucre, which at that time was still called Charcas. It was canonically established on June 27, 1552 as the Cathedral Church of Charcas, respectively La Plata (the city’s first name). Its construction in the Renaissance style with later baroque additions was finally completed in 1712.
The three naves are covered with ribbed vaults that feature Gothic touches. The architectural site comprises sacristies, the chapter house and adjoining chapels, which reflect the different construction stages.
The Mannerist portal stands on paired Tuscan columns and the baroque portal on the plaza side was designed by architect Gonzales Merquete.
The church’s vestibule is surrounded by a bevelled stone balustrade. The cross stone on its ledge is known under the traditional name of “RUMI CRUZ”.
The clock on the top of the tower dates back to 1772 and is still working. The tower is Sucre’s most characteristic landmark.
Chapel of the Virgin from Guadalupe
The size of the chapel, built in 1602 on the orders of Bishop Alonso Ramírez de Vergara, was increased in 1617 by Brother Gerónimo Mendez de la Tiedra. The chapel being dedicated to the worship of the Virgin of Guadalupe, it houses Brother Diego de Ocaña’s 1601 painting of Our Lady of Guadalupe. The public’s veneration of the image showing Sucre’s patron saint continues unabated.
A gold-plated silver layer was added to the original canvas in 1784, covering the Virgin’s mantle. Of the original painting only the Virgin’s head, her arms and the baby can still be seen.
For centuries, the canvas has been adorned with pearls and gems by humble followers and Bolivia’s historical figures alike.
