Sucre

Sucre is also known as La Cuidad Blanca due to its beautiful wash white buildings. It´s so much cleaner than the rest of Bolivia and seems alot richer too. Our hostel was right opposite el mercado central where we ate practically all of our meals (so yummy and cheap) - for breakfast we usually had a big fruit salad with yoghurt, nuts, cream and coconut and a strong black coffee. The market was such a big bustley place- people literally yell at you as you pass, almost pleading that you eat at their stall.

On New Years we met some locals who took us to Sucre´s mirador which is stunning. From there, there´s a walk up to the mountains passing seven catholic statues- we were sat in the mountains till sunset, watching the beautiful view and looking at one of the locals artesan work. To celebrate new year, we went to a local hangout where there was free champagne at midnight and then on to a street party.

We spent another day relaxing in the mirador with strawberry milkshake, chatting to yet another artesan when we met some people who said they would take us to a nearby town Yotala where there was a typical bar selling Chicha (a corn beer) and another mirador up in the mountains. After that we arranged to meet the next day and together drove to the seven waterfalls, only 30minutes from the city. We bought a packed lunch and sat on the rocks and swam in the waterfalls- we only climbed to the third waterfall, but all of the ones that we passed were gorgeous and wonderfully secluded.
