Bolivia is bordered by Brazil and Peru in the north, Paraguay and Argentina to the south and Chile to the west. The country is not as mountainous as many may think. In fact the country is made up mostly of lowlands which are sparsely populated. The mountainous area in the west which runs along the borders of Peru, Argentina and Chile have mountains which reach up over 20,000 ft. The Altiplano, which is a treeless plain stretching over a huge area and contains a few solitary volcanic peaks. In this area is also found Lake Titicacca - the highest navigable lake in the world.

On a tour through South America we spent three days in Bolivia, mainly La Paz and surroundings.

This short time was enough to fascinate me tremendously and make me want to go there again!

Travellogue: LIFE IN THE ALTIPLANO

It fascinated me so much, that I decided to sponsor a child in the Bolivian Altiplano.

If you like to find out a little about Wilma and her life, please have a look at my Travellogue: LIFE IN THE ALTIPLANO

    Wonderful page about such an interesting country - and it is so admirable that you decided to foster Wilma. I still have to picture the jacuzzi in the room in Bolivia though :-) what a touch of class!
