Day 10 - Drive to Sucre, visit of Casa de Libertad and of Dinosaur tracks - Cont.
Sucre was the capital of Bolivia, and because the high court still maintains its seat here it is still the constitutional capital of Bolivia, La Paz is the administrative capital of Bolivia with the seat of government.

Sucre is dotted with old colonial houses and has large number of churches which are fairly well maintained, and because Sucre is relatively small town it has a layback relaxed feeling about it. We start our sightseeing tour with the visit of the “Casa de Libertad”, the palace where the Bolivian independence has been declared. The museum which has been opened in this palace has exhibitions related to the independence struggle from Spain.

Our tour continues with a visit to the fossilized dinosaur tracks which have been uncovered in the cement works not far from Sucre. This is supposed to be one of the largest sites of this kind in the world. There are tracks from various species of dinosaurs on a cliff face that have been exposed during quarry operations, the local guide explains to which species it is believed each set of tracks belongs to.
