A country of extremes, Bolivia is situated in the middle of South America and land-locked as a result of suffering a series of losses in land struggles to its surrounding countries.

Bolivians are highly politicized so while travelling in the country it is advisable to tune in to radio or pick up a newspaper regularly to see how you should maintain your safety. Riots and road blockades are not only not uncommon but in fact a frequent occurence. Bolivians feel frustated with the inactivity of their government or the ultra-slow pace that it moves to make progress.

As one of the poorest countries in South America, Bolivians have become very skilled in making do with what little they have. One will find that a Bolivian will be able to find the cheapest possible solution to any problem. Examples of this include boarding a passenger bus on to a wooden raft to shuttle it swaying across Lake Titicaca or constantly refilling a bolted-on bucket to the roof in order to feed water to the radiatorof of the jeep.

As Bolivia is such a poor country, one must expect to be without some of the priveleges one is used to while travelling there. Depending on where you are, these may include heating, electricity (varying parts of the day) or running water.

Despite some of these set backs, travelling in Bolivia is a wonderful experience. Expect to meet people with a greatly different world-view from your own and gaze upon mind-blowing landscapes that you could have never imagined.
