Bolivia

The landlocked South American country of Bolivia may be one of the least developed areas of the continent, but it houses a wealth of charms which lie undiscovered by mass tourism. Located high up in the Andes, the rugged terrain lends itself to outdoors adventuring, with hiking and mountain biking just two of the popular pursuits that can be enjoyed.

Bolivia’s natural diversity allows visitors to indulge in a range of experiences, with the rivers, jungles and mountains all presenting a wealth of opportunities to explore. With over 1000 species of birds, wild vicuna and monkeys, as well as countless other types of animals, Bolivia is also a fascinating destination for nature lovers. With the rich indigenous culture still cherished and influencing a way of life largely untouched by western modernity, Bolivia is a bewitching destination for your South America holiday.
