What guided this image
Landmarks
Convent of San Felipe Neri; Metropolitan Cathedral of Sucre; Casa de la Libertad; Recoleta; lush public parklands; Sica Sica and Churuquella
Viewpoint
Favor the classic elevated viewpoint from the Mirador de La Recoleta on the slopes of Churuquella looking northwest over the city, showing the red-tile rooftops and white courtyards spreading across the valley floor, with the towers of San Felipe Neri and the Cathedral anchoring the middle-ground.
Palette
Green should be the predominant color, especially in the rolling slopes of Sica Sica and Churuquella, Parque Bolívar, and courtyard gardens.
Guarded against
Avoid confusing Sucre with La Paz (no high-altitude canyon walls, snow-capped Mount Illimani, or cable cars); Sucre is a peaceful, whitewashed colonial valley town with rolling green hills.
