Did you know this fact?

Did you know that Bolivia has its own navy, despite being a landlocked country? Established in the 1960s to patrol Lake Titicaca, the Bolivian Navy is the only navy in the world without a coastline. Although it primarily operates on the lake, it symbolizes Bolivia’s historical claim to access the Pacific Ocean, which it lost during the War of the Pacific in the late 19th century.

About Bolivia

Bolivia’s local cuisine is plentiful and varied, with each region having a local specialty. For example, in La Paz it has the ‘Chairo’, a soup made with lamb, beef and charque (dried and salted meat), all served in a terracotta bowl.

Bolivia has evolved in the last years to become today a sustainable tourist destination in which respect for nature is always present, where the connection between the local people and the visitor represents a genuine exchange and a great cultural wealth. Guarding the riches of their ecosystem has allowed Bolivia to position itself as a destination of large wild areas where the fauna and flora are preserved and observed like nowhere else.
At 1,098,581 km², Bolivia is eight times the size of England! The country has 11.6 million inhabitants, and their official language is Spanish.

The climate of Bolivia varies drastically from one eco-region to the other, from the tropics in the eastern llanos to a polar climate in the western Andes. The summers are warm and humid in the east and dry in the west, with rains that often modify temperatures, humidity, winds, and atmospheric pressure, yielding very different climates in different areas.

In Bolivia, people are culturally, racially, and socially diverse, a clear reflection of the over 36 native indigenous groups that have inhabited the country’s various regions for thousands of years, and a result of the historical assimilation of other races over time. Aymara and Quechua (2 million), Chiquitano (180,000) and Guaraní (125,000) are the four largest of Bolivia’s indigenous ethnic groups. Bolivia also has a small Afro Bolivian segment in the Yungas region.
