Timeline
17:04
Start with an American breakfast and coffee at Typica Cafe. The large courtyard is perfect for settling in before the evening rush.
18:19
Walk south on Loa or Junín to the entrance of the Cementerio General. This is the main cemetery of the city, with the mausoleums of many Bolivian political and military leaders. Arrive just before golden light starts to find a quiet spot among the mausoleums.
19:04
Watch the sunset. The sun sets toward the WSW, casting a final glow over the city from the cemetery grounds.
19:49
Head to the Patio de Comidas inside Parque Simón Bolívar for dinner. This outdoor cooked food center is frequented by locals. Grab a cheap meal from one of the stalls for around Bs. 3. There are vegetarian options available.
20:34
End the night with a drink at Bibliocafe. It is one of the few places in Sucre to serve Taquina Amber, one of Bolivia's best brews. The atmosphere plays classic rock and pop, and they also serve food if you need more.
Local tip
The Cementerio General is open until 17:30 on weekdays and all day on weekends. For the sunset experience, ensure you are already inside or check if the gates are open late for the event. If not, the view from the perimeter is still effective.
