Bolivia

The grandiose past, witnessed by ancient Tiahuanaco, the legendary mines of Potosi, the Jesuit missions and the vestiges of the Inca civilization, and a recent and stormy history, make Bolivia one of the most interesting countries in South America. The coexistence between different ethnic groups and indigenous cultures, the lively markets and festivals, the quiet cities, make it a peaceful and welcoming country today. Trekking in the Cordilleras, rafting along the streams of the Yungas, exploring the Amazon forests, observing plants and wild animals in the Pantanal. Unusual itineraries: from the salty desert of the Salar de Uyuni to the basins of geysers and volcanoes, from the foggy jungles to the Yungas, the most dangerous road in the world. 77 detailed maps, suggestions on where to sleep and where to eat, a language guide and a useful glossary on Latin American Spanish and the Aymarà and Quechua languages.
