Bolivia is known as highland country. Bolivia is bordered to the southeast by Paraguay, north and east by Brazil, to the southwest and west by Chile, to the south by Argentina, and the northwest by Peru. Bolivia shares the second largest lake in South America named Lake Titicaca with Peru. Bolivia geography ranges from the Atacama Desert or the hills and highlands of the Andes mountains to the Amazon basin, which the country shares with other South-American countries. Bolivia capital city name La Paz is one of the three big cities in Bolivia, and it is situated on the top of the Altiplano Andes. Read more
- Bolivia has 2 seasons – dry and wet. The dry season starts from May to October and the wet season starts from November to April. It is coldest during June to September, and most waterlogged from December to March. So the best time for travel is the dry seasons due to the better road conditions and warm temperatures and generally sunny skies during the day. Travelling to most regions of Bolivia is certainly possible year round however you should be prepared to deal with the seasonal changes as in most countries severe seasonal weather changes can happen and their effects are on weather patterns and the subsequent road and atmospheric conditions.
- Bolivia is a safe country and people are very friendly and helpful. Bolivians people chew fresh leaves of coca, a cash crop, and drink coca tea. For the Bolivian people, the coca leaves are so important to enhance physical stamina and relieve fatigue. After Peru and Colombia, Bolivia is the third largest grower of coca leaves and sells a high amount of those coca leaves to Peru, who then processes them and sells them to Brazil for producing cocaine.
- Spanish is the most common language used in Bolivia. Quechua and Aymara are the official languages of Bolivia. Most of the people who were born and brought up in Bolivia speak at least one of the native languages that are Quechua and Aymara. One can take domestic flights to travel from one city to another. Travelling by road, rail, water and bus is also safe and convenient. There are no direct flights available from India to Bolivia. There will be connecting flights available from all major cities of India. Jet Airways, Air India are linked with American Airlines and British Airlines which fly from India to Bolivia.

What to see in Bolivia?
- Bolivia is a unique and beautiful country. Bike across the North Yungas road, which is known as the Death Road as it comes under the earth most dangerous routes which connect La Paz to Yungas. Visit Salar de Uyuni as it is the largest salt flat anywhere in the world. Visit the sunset at Valle de la Luna, which is the mountains covered with sandstone and clay, which looks like a maze of canyons and stalagmites.
- See the Laguna Colorado known as Red Lake has terrific views and also spot out flamingos over there. Cover the Amazon rainforest which is cheaper and less crowded to cover from Bolivia. To explore more about the culture and history of Bolivia, explore Lake Titicaca, which is the world’s largest high altitude lake. Head towards Copacabana city to experience the street parties and religious ceremonies.
- Visit Santa Cruz city, which is a cultural hub of its own; this city is a great place to experience more of Bolivia’s unique culture. La Paz is Bolivia's industrial and financial hub. The Witch Market in La Paz city is a must place to visit as you can see strange items like Owl feathers, dried snakes and random tonics. The markets in Sucre are also a great way to get a feel for sounds and Bolivian sights and tastes in one location.
- Bolivian cuisine is the combination of Spanish cuisine with Aymara traditions and indigenous ingredients, among others, with little influences from Germans, French, Italians, and Arabs due to the arrival of immigrants from those countries. Chicha de colla is the traditional alcoholic drink in Bolivia.
- Roman Catholic is the predominant religion in Bolivia. Knowing a few words of Spanish before travelling will be reasonable and comfortable to communicate with local people.
