Bolivia
B olivia, the vast but landlocked country
at the heart of South America, is an
unforgettable destination. Traditional
religions, languages, costumes and festivals
that have spanned many thousands of years
have been gilded by a layer of Spanish
colonialism, resulting in a colourful and
intriguing cultural blend. Combined with
this is the awe-inspiring natural beauty
26
of the country; from the deep blue waters
of Lake Titicaca framed by snow-capped
mountains on the horizon, to the
multi-coloured lakes, vast deserts and
dazzling salt flats of the southwestern
plateau and steamy jungles of the Amazon
basin, and wildlife-rich grasslands of the
southeast. Cities captivate visitors from
the world’s highest capital in La Paz, to
the whitewashed colonial beauty of Sucre
and the ghostly, eerie presence of Potosí.
Bolivians are warm and welcoming people,
always pleased to see someone who takes
the trouble to visit the country they are so
rightly proud of. They will ensure your stay,
whether for a few days or a few weeks, is a
memorable one. Bolivia is truly South
America as its most visceral.
