BOLIVIA GENERAL COUNTRY FACTS
Need some help getting your facts straight? Bolivia is an amazingly diverse country in every sense of the word. Landlocked and located in the center of South America, its culture draws from, and has been influenced by its neighbors on all sides. Its
history
has been shaped by colorful conditions (the colors of its
flags
reflect these), and its
government
and
economy
are continuously undergoing transitions that perpetuate this ever-changing landscape.
Geographically, although the country itself has been widely mapped, some of its deeper, more impenetrable regions remain shrouded in mystery. Its
population
is small relative to its size and concentrated in three major urban areas - the cities of
Santa Cruz,
Cochabamba
and
La Paz
while the rest of the country is sparsely populated. Much of its great wealth of natural resources remains untouched, and Bolivia has one of the highest rates of biodiversity in the world. (The section on
wildlife
is being developed continuously). The country's
climate,
seasons and environment range widely by region due to its diverse topography. Because Bolivia's history,
politics
and economy, culture and
geography
are unusual and often ambiguous, they can be confusing and difficult to understand. In this section I've made an attempt to provide clear overviews and descriptions, structured in an organized manner, to facilitate your search for information. I've included and continue to add
maps
as well as information you'll need if you plan to
live here
or spend some of your free time taking one of the region's amazing
tours.
