Bolivia Travel

Bolivia is now a country named after the local hero Simón Bolívar, which is located in the Central South American Continent. It is nowadays bordered by the near – by country of Brazil in the North and in the East, the exotic countries of Paraguay and Argentina in the South, and by the mountainous countries of Chile and Peru in the West.

From the very far year of 1839, the city or town of Sucre was the seat of the National Government, until the administrative capital was moved to the newly city of La Paz in the late year 1898. The city of Sucre remains till our period of time, the important constitutional capital and even the seat of the High or Supreme Court in this South American Country. Bolivia is the world's 28 th - largest country, comparable with the African Country of Mauritania, which fives this country a big pride, and a big responsibility to defend their country, internally and externally also.

The only thing which it still remains till nowadays predictable about the Bolivia 's general weather is its own very serious unpredictability. The general climate is very cool here, and there are many changes in the general weather path. A very cold and very dry wind named the Surazo, blows from the Patagonia in the Argentine Pampa. If we are speaking on a much bigger scale, this country has only two seasons, which are wet and dry, but in a Latin country as diverse as Bolivia , the general local weather varies greatly. The very dry season is now between the long months of May and also October.

An enormous diversity of the ecological areas are represented within Bolivia 's own territory: the western highlands from the great Andes Mountains , the eastern lowlands with large sections of the Amazonian rainforests and even the Chaco, the highest peak - Nevado Sajama from the department of Oruro and the beautiful Lake Titicaca . The ecotourism has the potential to be a large tourism sector because Bolivia has more than 22 distinct and different National Parks (the most National Parks in the whole South American Continent). The government has done very few things to promote, protect or even develop the ecotourism sector, but the local communities have turned the face to the tourism, to sustain their community and protect their very important natural resources.

Bolivia is one of the poorest and even least and developed countries in the whole South America ; About more than two - thirds of its own people live in a general poverty, nowadays.

Bolivia has a very rich folklore: the original folk music represents the people of Bolivia , and it is very distinctive, and even sometimes, varied. A great folkloric event of the South America is the “Carnaval de Oruro”, other lesser known is that from the Tarabuco. The entertainment includes here football, and table football, which are played on the street - corners by both children and adults, also. Here you will find many smiling people, but also a very high rate of unemployment and many poor people. In general, this is a country of contrasts, where you will find huge buildings and constructions, but also many poor people.
