Bolivia has two capitals: La Paz, the legislative center; and Sucre, the judicial capital. Sucre was (in terms of elevation) the lowest altitude of the trip (an oxygen-rich 9,000 feet). The colonial buildings of the city are well-maintained, most in the center whitewashed annually. Among the many churches is the cathedral, home of the sanctuary of Nuestra Señora de la Virgen de Guadeloupe. The earth’s largest collection of dinosaur tracks are found just outside Sucre on the grounds of a cement factory at Cal Orko. Speculation is the dinosaur tracks were at the edge of aa large lake which experienced a cataclysmic event — all the dinosaur tracks are moving away from the lake, as if these prehistoric reptiles were fleeing a tsunami or something equally terrifying.
