bolivie

Bolivia was saturated with life, colors, festivals, grandiose landscapes skies of rare purity, it's really Latin America as we imagine. 

It is primarily the inexhaustible treasure of Potosí, shipments in the Amazon in search of the mythical El Dorado. 

When one thinks of Andean music, it is the air of Bolivia that tickle our ears; even the highly touted Lambada came from there. It is also here that Parmentier reported to Louis XVI's dad, the famous potato. 

And then there was Bolívar, Patiño King tin, Che Guevara and before them the Jesuit missions, the Incas and Tiwanakus ... All were the inspiration for many adventures, including those created by the famous reporter Hergé ... 

Bolivia has fueled our childhood dreams! Large areas of the Pantanal wetland or geometry runs from Salar de Uyuni; gigantism Titicaca source of countless jokes schoolchildren; the magnificent peaks of the Cordillera Real and volcanic cathedrals Amboró Park; the colonial city of Sucre and baroque churches. And ponchos, llamas, colorful hats ... 

Bolivia is also a people of peoples instead. Quechua Aymara Indians, mestizos, descendants of slaves ... 

It is the Amazon and Andes, nature and culture. But she lives to the rhythm of Latin America today, torn between an ancestral way of life and the pressures of large global market. Revolutionary chills and speculative temptations are not openly defy.
