A fascinating land of ancient heritage and tradition, Bolivia, with its soaring peaks and sapphire skies, has been likened to the Tibetan Plateau. Home of the Aymaran civilization before being conquered by the grand Inca Empire and then the Spanish, Bolivian culture reflects its rich and varied history. This history is reflected in Bolivia’s three official languages: Aymara, Quechua and Spanish. In Bolivia it is possible to glimpse many of the old ways– like the hand-woven reed boats that skim across Lake Titicaca as they have done for hundreds of years.

Bolivia is home to impeccably preserved ancient sites and a living Andean culture. The brilliant weavings, music and spirit of Bolivia’s Andean ancestors can be seen, heard and experienced throughout its villages and towns. Festivals and fiestas of both Catholic and indigenous origin enliven streets and churches throughout the year. The awe-inspiring, natural beauty of its altiplano, snow-capped mountains, savannas, the Pantanal (one of the two largest wetlands in the world), magnificent rainforests in the northeastern part of the country, and colorful strength of its culture make Bolivia a truly unforgettable destination!
