At around 7,000 kilometers long, stretching along the western edges of South America, the Andes mountain chain is the longest range in the world. And Bolivia offers some of the highest and most dramatic peaks along the Andes.

Cities on the earth’s ceiling

Bolivians know how to live the high life, with many urban areas spread out across the Altiplano. The city of El Alto is the highest on earth at 4,150 meters. And the city of La Paz, at 3,650 meters, is the highest capital city in the world.

Rich, deep-rooted culture

With a wide-ranging blend of tradition and customs emanating from ancient indigenous communities, Spanish colonists, and high Andean influences, the culture of Bolivia is packed full of interesting aspects to explore and understand.

More Info

Located in the centre of South America, the ethnically diverse country of Bolivia is equally varied in its geography, from the peaks of the Andes in the west, to the lowlands of the Amazon Basin in the east. The landlocked country is bordered by Brazil to the north and east, by Paraguay to the southeast, by Argentina to the south, by Chile to the southwest, and Peru to the northwest. Bolivia’s Incan past is well preserved and remains a core part of its culture, and especially its incredible landscapes.

I was really disappointed with Casa de Guias. It was not a terrible experience because Casa de Guias had found a wonderful guide and assistant although they did not know them (allmountain guide). As to Explore -Share I don´t intent to buy anything. I will write a full description of what happened by e-mail.
