and the Colours of Bolivia
will capture your heart too |
Bolivia in the early 70's has been quite a 'dangerous'place. Although its natural Beauty was there for all to see,one had to be vigilent and on your toes.
The mainstream Tourist had not yet found 'the shores' of Bolivia, saying shores....Bolivia is one of two Countries in South America without a costline, nor a Port.The other one is Paraguay.
In the 19th century, the Paraguayan or Gran Chaco War,between Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia and Paraguay, left those countries..Bolivia and Paraguay..defeated.
Not only where they deprived of a lot of their Land, Bountries where drastically pushed back, and made them cut off from the Port's they so desperatly wanted, needed and fought for.
Brazil and Argentina made the Rules and drew a line over the Map of South America, everything left, towards the Pacific Ocean should be 'spanish Territory' and useing the spanish language, the Rest, along the Atlantic Ocean..except Argentina and Uruguay, should be the 'portugues Territory' and hence the portugues Language.
Even in these day's, people often make the mistake to belief, ALL of South America speaks spanish! |
ancient culture,
the cradle of human culture....Tiahuanaco was such a place, situated around 70km from La Paz |  | |
