Bordered by Peru, Chile, Argentina, Paraguay and Brazil, Bolivia is hemmed into the heart of Latin America and displays many of the colours and contrasts so typical of the continent as a whole. From the world's highest capital of La Paz, standing remote in the Andes mountains, the land descends to rich Amazonian forest, lowland pampas and blinding while salt flats, a whole variety of landscapes impressively crammed into a small surface area. Of all countries in Latin America, Bolivia's population also contains the highest number of indigenous people, which is evident in its traditions, clothing, festivals and beliefs. Come prepared with clothes for all climates and this is one country you mustn't pass up.
