Bolivia

Bolivia

Bolivia is called an Indian state because most of the indigenous people are the Quechua and Aymara peoples. The population exceeds 12 million people. The country was named after freedom fighter Simon Bolivar. The area of the territory in South America is more than 1 million square kilometers. This allows it to occupy the 27th place in the list of countries by area after Ethiopia.

Sucre is recognized as the capital, but in fact the government operates in La Paz. The paradox is that Bolivia has a lot of resources, but people live in poverty. It's cheap to relax here. Hiking and cycling, desert jeep tours, and boat trips are popular among travelers. You can see llamas grazing and bananas with pineapples growing.

Locals advise visiting Bolivia between late spring and mid-autumn, because the rainy season runs from October to March. Most tourists can be found in August. Even in winter, it is not cold in Bolivia, the average temperature this season is +21°C. And in summer it rises to +34° C.
