Learn Spanish in Sucre, Bolivia
About Sucre, Bolivia
Sucre, a charming colonial city in southern Bolivia, has been beautifully preserved thanks to its status as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The legislative capital of the country, Sucre has always been an influential city in the arts and academics despite its small size.
Sucre’s many names – it was formerly known as “La Plata” (“Silver”) and is still called the “white city of the Americas”– serve as reminders of 300 years of Spanish rule. Its colonial-era structures include two universities, various churches, beautiful white-washed buildings and tree-lined plazas where students congregate to socialize and have a good time. With a population of about 150,000, Sucre is a tranquil and fascinating place to study Spanish while learning about Andean and colonial culture.
