Bolivia is a premier adventure travel destination. The fifth-largest
country in South America, it is one of the most geographically
diverse countries in the world. The Altiplano, a high mountain
plateau where Andean civilization first developed, lies between
two ranges of the Andes mountains that tower over 23,000
feet. Visitors come to this region to experience the amazingly
beautiful waters, landscapes, and cultures of Lake Titikaka,
largest lake in South America and one of the highest navigable
lakes in the world. Bolivia's terrain ranges from spectacular
Andean peaks to dense Amazonian rain forests, such as the
jungles of Madidi National Park, Noel Kempf Mercado National
Park on the border with Brazil.
Unique Andean cultures. In
Bolivia, with the largest indigenous population in the
Americas, Andean culture is alive and strong.
Visitors experience Bolivia's great indigenous heritage
and enjoy traditional native architecture, clothing, colorful
markets, handcrafts, dances, music, and seeing the daily
life of Aymara communities. In La Paz, campesina women
in
bowler hats and flared skirts sell their products in huge
open air markets. In some regions, you are more likely
to hear the indigenous Aymara language than Spanish. Being
in
Bolivia is like stepping back in time 300 years.
And adventure! Bolivia has hikes and treks along Inca trails,
jungle tours, bird watching, wild mountain bike adventures,
fishing, mountain climbing, sailing on Lake Titicaca, travel
on jungle rivers, Spanish colonial towns, and interesting
archeological sites. All that, as well as incredible mountain
scenery, and the surreal landscape around the world's largest
salt lake at Uyuni.
