Bolivia

Locked at the centre of South America, Bolivia is the continent's forgotten heart. One of the Western hemisphere's richest countries in terms of natural resources, it remains nonetheless the poorest country in South America. A sensational mountain kingdom, where glorious indigenous culture glows in the other-worldly, high-altitude light, Bolivia is unlike anywhere you've ever been. Mix this with the impenetrable jungle in the East of the country and it is no surprise that Bolivia is one of the most up and coming travel destination in Latin America. With a landscape as dramatic as the history it has witnessed, Bolivia is not for the fainthearted. But arrive with an open mind, some imodium and a good pair of shoes and you might just find out what travelling is all about.

Regions of Bolivia

Copacabana A lazy town set amidst epic landscapes of stunning natural beauty; this is the best place to see La...	Santa Cruz That rarest of finds. A bustling metropolitan city off the beaten track.
