About Bolivia

Bolivia sprawls across the heart of South America, from Andean peaks and the windswept Altiplano down to Amazonian lowlands. Landlocked since losing its Pacific coast in the nineteenth century, it keeps its constitutional capital in Sucre while government business runs from lofty La Paz. Named for the liberator Simón Bolívar, the country dazzles visitors with Lake Titicaca and the blinding-white salt flats of Uyuni.

• ·Bolivia has two capitals: Sucre is the constitutional capital, while La Paz is the world's highest seat of national government at over 3,600 meters.
• ·Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, becomes a giant natural mirror when covered by a thin layer of rainwater.
• ·Though landlocked since the 1880s, Bolivia still maintains a navy, which patrols Lake Titicaca and the country's rivers.
