"Bolivia...the Hidden Gem, in the heart of South
America, is a large country of about 1.1 million square
kilometres!
Thus, it is about the same size as France
and Spain put together or almost as big as South Africa.
However, it only has a population of about 8.5 million
people and she also has a very low population
density. The beautiful flora and fauna still thrives
very well in this unspoilt country with beautiful
landscapes and friendly people. Climates vary between
the Amazonian, Pando in the North East to the much
cooler higher lands around La Paz and to the warmer
drier regions in the South at Tarija. The diversity in
climate, culture, history, folklore and the Inca ruins
make it a must see for adventure travellers from around
the world. Bolivia has similar weather conditions as
some Southern African countries and also lies within the
same lines of latitude.
Most
average travellers around the world probably would not
name Bolivia if asked to name three countries in South
America. However, there are some newsworthy facts
that most people would know of; such as Butch Cassidy
and Sundance Kid being shot in Bolivia, Che Guevara the
revolutionary met his capture and demise in Bolivia
and the famous 1970's actress, Rachel Welch's
parents were Bolivian.
Santa
Cruz is the most populous and advanced city with some 2
million inhabitants. Likewise Santa Cruz de la Sierra
Departmento is a main breadbasket to the country. Most
people start their travels in either La Paz, the capital
or Santa Cruz.
The wonderful Bolivian cuisine and the inexpensive
lifestyle also make it a truly memorable country to
visit...
So
come and see Bolivia...the "Hidden Gem in the heart of
South America."
