The capital city of Bolivia, located high in the mountains, known as the constitutional capital even though La Paz is the administrative center.
Named after Antonio José de Sucre, a South American military leader and independence hero who helped liberate several countries from Spanish rule in the early 1800s. The city was originally called Chuquisaca but was renamed in his honor.
Sucre sits at about 9,000 feet elevation, making it one of the highest capital cities in the world, and it's a UNESCO World Heritage site because its colonial architecture is so perfectly preserved—but it's also in a region that experiences extreme water shortages because of its altitude and climate.
