Bolivia
An Introduction to Bolivia
Bolivia is in the heart of South America and it’s often referred to as the ‘Tibet of the Americas’; from icebound peaks to the high-altitude deserts it’s easy to understand why. But it’s not just mountains in Bolivia; there’s dense tropical rainforests and the vast savannahs of the Amazon basin. All in all, Bolivia embraces an astonishing range of landscapes and climates.
Bolivia’s population is almost as diverse as its terrain. Over 60% of the population can claim indigenous heritage from 30 different ethnic groups. The Bolivian’s are one of the reasons why travelling in Bolivia is such a joy. They’re open, honest and welcoming, making the country extremely easy to travel around.
With sites such as the salt flats and Lake Titicaca, Bolivia has much to offer the traveller, yet much of the country is still untouched and it’s one of the few countries in the world where you can truly get off the beaten track.
