Our tour begins with a visit to a renowned Indigenous textile art center, where you’ll discover the rich traditions and meanings behind ancestral Andean weaving.

After this immersive introduction, the tour continues to the iconic 25 de Mayo Square, the heart of Sucre’s colonial history. Surrounded by whitewashed neoclassical buildings, your guide will bring to life the dramatic events of Bolivia’s War of Independence and the city’s role in the nation’s foundation.
