Bolivia Travel Guide
Popularly known as the ‘Tibet of the Americas’, Bolivia is the highest and most remote of the countries in South America. Bolivia is one of the least developed countries in South America, it tends to be a little rough around the edges. It borders on Peru and Chile in the west, Argentina and Paraguay in the south and Brazil in the east and north. Bolivia is recognized as one of South America's most spectacular destinations.
The nation's rich cultural heritage remains intact amongst the indigenous people, a large majority of whom retain traditional beliefs and practices. The majority of the population is maintaining their firmly established cultures and beliefs. Travelers will meet shy people in traditional clothing, colorfully dressed and red cheeked from the mountain air, see their traditional houses and age-old methods of agriculture, watch ancient techniques of weaving, producing handicrafts in extraordinary colors and styles, and experience the local food.
About half of the country lies in the Andean Highlands, located in the western part, where you will find the most interesting sights like Lake Titicaca, the capital La Paz, the city of Oruro, that has a great carnival. In the southern Highlands Potosi, the famous silver mine city and Sucre are the most interesting spots. The eastern half of Bolivia is tropical, hot and humid. Santa Cruz is an interesting place in the tropical bassin.
Bolivia has the honour of having the highest capital in the world. La Paz is set at an altitude of some 4 kilomteres and that means you have something to get used to when you arrive by plane.
The population of the country is for a very large part of Indian descent. You will see men in brightly coloured ponchos and women with small hats everywhere. The Indian markets that are held almost everywhere in the highlands are one of the most attractive things to visit.
