Travel to Bolivia
Bolivia, named for SimÛn BolÌvar, El Libertador, is a dense rain forest and grassy lowlands, salt plains, and pockets of Mediterranean-like climate, producing tropical fruits and vineyards. Hotels may be scarce so you may choose to stay in one of the Bolivia vacation rentals. Until you see them for yourself it might be hard to believe that portions of Bolivia are compared to the Garden of Eden for the climate fertility and scenery. There's also an area called the Gran Chaco which is sparsely populated, dry and all but barren.
Bolivia is equal in size to California and Texas combined. Brazil forms its eastern border; its other neighbors are Peru and Chile on the west and Bolivia and Paraguay on the south. The western part, enclosed by two chains of the Andes, is a great plateauóthe Altiplano, with an average altitude of 12,000 ft. (3,658 m). Almost half the population lives on the plateau, which contains Oruru, PotosÌ, and La Paz. At an altitude of 11,910 feet (3,630 m), La Paz is the highest administrative capital city in the world. The Oriente, a lowland region ranging from rain forests to grasslands, comprises the northern and eastern two-thirds of the country. Lake Titicaca, at an altitude of 12,507 ft. (3,812 m), is the highest commercially navigable body of water in the world."
Bolivia isn't as easy to get to as other countries as many areas are accessible only by air. But if you persevere you'll be rewarded with spectacular landscapes as well as colorful wildlife. Bolivia borders Brazil and Ecuador along the northern lowlands with a vast Amazonian tropical rain forest.
If you decide to go to Bolivia try and stay in one of the Bolivia vacation rentals in the winter! It's cold in the altiplano, but winter, May to October, is the dry season. During the summer months of November to April, travel is difficult due to possible washed out roads, heat, insects and rain. You won't soon forget the experience if you stay with a local family in a vacation rental home.
