Bolivia is a very colorful South American country that will give you great experiences that will stay with you for a lifetime. The country can be split in two parts: the altiplano (Andes highland) and the selva (Amazon jungle). The differences in temperature, vegetation and living standards are enormous. Traditional Bolivians wear a great variety of hats and grow lots of different potatoes. In La Paz you may be walking slowly because of altitude. The Uyuni Salt Lake is one-of-a-kind.
