Bolivia

Bolivia is a country of extremes. From freezing cold snowy mountain peaks to sweltering hot amazon lowlands, the nation has a dizzying array of climates and cultures, attractions and adventures. It encompasses two of the South America’s biggest draws: the Andes and the Amazon. The highlands are the brutal crown, capped with blinding salt, dusty desert, exhausted volcanoes and high-altitude lakes. These harsh landscapes are softened by colourful Aymara attire, long-lashed llamas and the bustle of a market in a city plaza. Descending into the valleys, the climate becomes springlike, water erupts from the rocks and brown scenes turn deep green – giving way to true jungle, wrapping travellers in a restorative blanket of heat and humidity after the chill, arid Altiplano. The oxygen rich Amazon replenishes lungs leaden from the thin air of the Andes.

This extreme land is a raw, rugged response to Latin America’s shiny metropolises and well trekked tourist trails, rewarding those who venture here with glimpses of another world, a bygone era, the magic that once enticed explorers and chiefs of ancient empires. Inca and Aymara myths and legends swirl around Bolivia. Travellers here will discover ancient cures in the witches’ market, and offerings to Pachamama in the vast white expanse of the Uyuni salt flats. Sail across Lake Titicaca to the legendary Island of the Sun, and soak up the indigenous culture of La Paz, Potosiand the Amazon rainforest.
