Bolivia is situated in South America; with Brazil in the Northeast, Peru in the Northwest, Chile in the Southwest and Argentina in the south. Bolivia is the only country, after Paraguay, to be landlocked in the American region. Being one of the most remote locations in the Western Hemisphere, it is home to native Americans who have deep roots in the country’s ancestry. Traveling to Bolivia means entering a region that is ripe with historical and cultural significance. The country has plenty of stories to tell from the periods of economic and political turbulence and decades of war.

Still considered as an ‘untouched’ gem in South America, Bolivia attracts many a curious traveler who loves to discover the beauty of the countryside and the many thrilling adventures in store.

The route to Bolivia

 

Most tourists coming to Bolivia do so for its indigenous culture and heritage. The best way to come to the country is by plane at either of the two airports located in La Paz or Santa Cruz. The maximum number of flights landing in Bolivia are from Europe, Latin America and the USA.

 

Since the country is landlocked, getting to Bolivia via roads is not a very suitable option. The hilly areas and countryside hardly have properly paved roads, with the exception of the roads leading from Chile.

 

While road travel does have its perks in terms of beautiful scenery and a peaceful environment, it isn’t worth the hassle with police controls at every few steps. Apart from these two options, arriving by Sea is another alternative many tourists choose to pick. Bolivia is connected to other countries like Peru by the Lake Titicaca. Boat services leave Peru often, loaded with tourists wishing to explore Bolivia.
