About Bolivia
From mountain climbers reaching above icy peaks high in the Andes, to photographers shooting the sunset over windswept deserts, or nature lovers relaxing riverside in the lush rainforest, Bolivia attracts an adventurous traveler.
Locals speak a slower pace of Spanish, equipped with friendly attitudes and a desire to show visitors how great this country is. Land locked by five other South American countries, and often overlooked for travel destinations, the unexpected variety of
landscapes and activities often has visitors wishing to return again and again.
With a history dating back over 3,000 years and after being occupied by both the Incas and Spanish, Bolivia delivers a unique mix of cultures. Visitors love exploring markets filled with brightly colored garments and tasty spicy treats. It’s easy to get
lost for days exploring humble village streets or grand colonial squares; every corner of Bolivia holds another flavor of its history.
Budget minded travelers revel as Bolivia is a comfortable place to stay, with affordable guesthouses, hotels or hostels found at nearly every destination across the country. Whether you’re escaping to the jungle or the mountains, a network of internal
flights, buses and hotels make it easy for travelers to access all the sights across the country.
