Landlocked Bolivia, known as the ‘Tibet of the Americas’, lies in the heart of South America with Brazil to the north-east, Chile to the south-west, Peru to the north-west, Argentina and Paraguay to the south.

It is a land of Andean glaciers, high altitude cities, rainforests, and rushing rivers.

With 60% of the population having pure Native American ancestry Bolivia is rich in traditions which have survived despite Spanish conquistador rule and the modern world.
