What is the difference between a regular trip to Bolivia and this Gastronomic project?

Everything is ready! All that's missing is you!

We will be accompanied by a Bolivian professional, a gastronome and expert in the culture, who will be in charge of accompanying us on this adventure.

Who can participate?

The expedition is not limited to people with experience in the culinary field, but is designed for all lovers of this art. Much more than a simple meeting of travelers or another course, we want to bring together people willing to share their experiences and experience a moment of new knowledge.

Sucre is the constitutional capital of Bolivia and capital of the department (state) of Chuquisaca, as well as being the city where Bolivia was born.

Although Sucre is the de jure capital of Bolivia, the seat of government is located in La Paz, making it the de facto capital. Located in the south-central region of Bolivia, Sucre rises to an altitude of 2,810 metres (9,200 ft), making it one of the highest cities in South America. Throughout its history, it has been called Charcas, La Plata and Chuquisaca, and has received the nickname "City of Four Names".

History

On September 29, 1538, Sucre was founded as the "Ciudad de la Plata de la Nueva Toledo" by Pedro de Anzures, Marquis of Campo Redondo. In 1559, King Philip II of Spain established the Audiencia of Charcas in La Plata, with authority over an area covering what is now Paraguay, southeastern Peru, northern Chile and Argentina, and much of Bolivia.

In 1609, an archdiocese was founded in the city. In 1624, the University of Saint Francis Xavier, the second oldest in the Americas, was founded.

Until the 18th century, La Plata was the judicial, religious and cultural center of the region. In 1839, after becoming the capital of Bolivia, the city had its name changed in honor of the revolutionary leader Antonio José de Sucre. After the economic decline of Potosí (silver mines), Sucre saw the seat of the Bolivian government move to La Paz in 1898.

In 1991, Sucre became a World Heritage Site, according to UNESCO.

The city of four names...

Each of the well-known names represents a specific period in the city's history: Charcas was the name of the indigenous people who inhabited the place where the Spanish built the colonial city;

La Plata was the name given to the emerging city; Chuquisaca was the name given to the city during its independence period; Sucre honors the marshal of the Great Battle of Ayacucho, Don Antonio Jose de Sucre. The Battle of Ayacucho was the last major armed confrontation among the land campaigns of the Spanish-American wars of independence and meant the definitive end of the viceroyalties in Spanish America. The battle took place in the Pampa de La Quinua, in Ayacucho, Peru, on December 9, 1824. The victory of the independentists against the royalists effectively sealed the independence of Upper Peru with a series of military clauses that would become a diplomatic treaty years later, in 1879.

Today, the city attracts thousands of tourists every year thanks to its valley climate, tranquility, historical importance, and architecture with buildings from the colonial and republican eras.

- Visit to the main Mint museum.

The Royal House of Moneda is one of the most spectacular government buildings with a very specific function in the Americas and the largest building built in the Viceroyalty of Peru. It currently houses the largest museum complex in Bolivia.

The first building of Viceroy Toledo was located next to the market (Gato), and this second, larger, was designed by José de Rivero and Tomás Camberos (1751), who brought new machinery from Madrid (1753).

The various rooms are connected by a square courtyard at the entrance, which is connected by arches to two smaller side courtyards and the larger central courtyard. Two of them have balconies on the upper floor, and at the back of the largest one there are large rooms for minting coins, separated by side corridors, and an arcade that runs the entire length of the building that houses the ovens at the back. It currently houses the largest museum complex in Bolivia.
