Geographical Marvels

Bolivia is full of pleasant surprises that were unexpected! This country's natural diversity is astounding, ranging from highland deserts and snow-capped mountains to wast lowlands covered in tropical forest. There are numerous landmarks to be found here. Many of Bolivia's natural wonders remain undiscovered. The transcendent landscapes of Bolivia make it nearly impossible to take a bad photograph. Bolivia's scenery is breathtaking at every turn, from dense jungles and high-altitude cities to dusty red mountains and gleaming lakeside villages. Bolivia is home to the highest navigable body of water in the world as well as the world's largest salt flat.

Bolivia's geography is as diverse as its culture, though the country does not have a single beach. It does, however, have an extraordinary variety of landscapes ranging from the Andes highlands to the Amazon Basin.

Surprisingly, national parks and natural reserves have protected 17% of Bolivia's land. This is a country with over 1,400 bird species and nearly 300 mammals. One of its national parks has over 4,000 plant species and has been designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Bolivia's spectacular geography includes the "Lost Garden of the Incas," dinosaurs, salt flats, flamingos, archaeological sites, geysers, llamas, and many other attractions.
