Bolivia

Located in the heart of South America, Bolivia is landlocked by five other South American nations.

There are five distinct geographical areas of Bolivia, ranging from the high Altiplano (at 3500m), highland valleys, the Yungas, the Chaco and the underdeveloped swamps, savannahs and rainforest of the Amazon basin.

The people of Bolivia have remained the most cultural of all in the continent due to its relative isolation, with over half of the country’s population either Quechua or Aymara. The richness of this culture can be seen throughout the country from the traditional Andean folk music, colourful markets and street-sellers to the historical cities of Sucre and Potosi.
