Bolivia, both natural and cultural, is a land of diversity. From the Andes to the Amazon rainforest, desert salt in the desert sand, the variety of landscapes gives the strange impression of having shod boots seven places and crossed the whole earth. As for the population, multicultural, it will amaze you with his joy of life and folklore that are manifested in particular in the many local festivals.

Diversity of landscapes
Twice as large as France, Bolivia offers an incredible diversity. High plateau perched at 4 000 meters and surrounded by peaks rising to over 6 000 meters, endless plains are lost to the borders of Brazil and Argentina, desert rocks and volcanoes where temperatures can range from + 20 ° C – 25 ° C within 24 hours, valleys intertropicales the gentle wetness …

Heterogeneous population
8 million people who, apart from an identical passport, are usually nothing in common. In this regard, Bolivia is probably the last refuge of many cultures: the Aymara, Quechua, Guarani, tocan, Essejas, Chimanes …

A country off the beaten track
An observation in the form of paradox: despite a history and a very rich culture, Bolivia is not attracting as many passengers than it deserves. Unlike neighboring Peru, successive governments have only recently made aware of the attraction that could carry this heritage.

Historical evidence scattered throughout the country
On a territory which is full, it has not yet identified the sites that pre Spaniards destroyed or buried to better impose their authority and religion. For those already discovered, they are not highlighted as they deserve.

Vibrant culture and preserved
In the absence of mass tourism, Bolivia drew some profit. She managed to keep intact its traditions and customs. Folklore remains very much alive, in all regions and, more surprisingly, in all strata of the population without distinction, so that traditional dances and music are perpetuated in the many civil or religious holidays that include timelines.

Enormous resources
Another paradox, not least, in this country whose per capita income is on average the lowest in the continent, the resources are immense and their limits as yet unknown. The richness of this new century is certainly the natural gas, Bolivia has the largest repositories of the American continent.

Scenery and surprises
Bolivia has maintained an authenticity rare. Nowhere else in South America, you do not feel as much at home by force and richness of cultures, the harmony of colors and music, harshness or softness of the climate, the kindness of a peaceful people.
