Tarabuco Travel Tips
Tarabuco travel tips courtesy of GeckoGo
  • Little town about an hour by car from Sucre. Worth a visit for the great market; loads of Bolivian arts and crafts, blankets, hammocks and cheap silver jewelery. You'll get hassled by the little old ladies flogging wristbands but its all good. • David E.
