Field notes
Bolivia's constitutional capital — at 2,800m it's meaningfully more breathable than La Paz, with a denser walkable colonial center. Centro Histórico is the obvious anchor. Cheap Spanish schools are the local industry. Same Bolivia visa story as La Paz.
At 2,800m, Sucre is meaningfully more breathable than La Paz with much milder temperatures (12–17°C year-round). Dry season (May–September) is the headline window; wet season (October–April) brings afternoon thunderstorms. Sun is intense at altitude — sunscreen matters more than the temperature suggests.
