We stopped in a small colonial town called Sucre in the centre of Bolivia. From here it's a great place to either do some excursions in the surrounding areas, or chill out in the town and take spanish lessons. In our case, we decided to just take it easy and mainly visit the town while planning out our next steps.
One of the attractions that we enjoyed was the MUSEF museum where you can see an assortment of masks that the Bolivians use in their various festivals and celebrations.
Oh, and we can't forget to mention the visit to "Para-Ti", a Bolivian chocolate factory. We weren't able to take pictures in the actual factory but all of the Cacao beans are grown, roasted, and processed (mainly by hand) here in Bolivia. They have many hand-crafted chocolate truffles/bonbons, plus about 18 different flavours of chocolate bars … which... we may have overindulged in.. just a little… :P
On Sunday, we went to the Tarabuco Market which is located about 1 hour from Sucre. We enjoyed our time there, but if you've ever visited other markets in South America, your time is probably better spent elsewhere... if you decide to go anyway, make sure you explore the side streets - that's where the action lies - also, try the "Aji De Lisas" street food.. looks a bit sketchy but it was quite good (and we didn't get sick) :).
