Working as a digital nomad in Sucre, Bolivia

Internet connection options and speed

We do travel for the fun and for the great local experiences, but we do care about our internet connection speed and about having our spaces to work comfortably from while on our journey. Here’s what we have found in Sucre, Bolivia.

There is always a plan B, and that is to buy yourself a local SIM card (25 BOB = 3.6$) and charge it with some credit or internet (4 GB costs 50 BOB = 7.2$). We did that by buying ourselves phone numbers from Entel. Here’s what the internet speed test gave us by setting up a hotspot with it:

These options will be more than enough for our work from Sucre.

Laptop friendly workspaces

Usually you would need a desk and a chair, but it ain’t bad if you have alternatives to switch places when you do your work. We are pretty happy with our place has to offer for us with a panoramic view of the city.
