Field notes
At 2,800m, Sucre is meaningfully more breathable than La Paz with much milder temperatures (12–17°C year-round). Dry season (May–September) is the headline window; wet season (October–April) brings afternoon thunderstorms. Sun is intense at altitude — sunscreen matters more than the temperature suggests.
