Tailor-made Bolivia: Introduction

Sarah Powell, Latin America Specialist The blend of modern city life and ancient traditions in La Paz is intoxicating and I love to wander around the colourful markets soaking up the lively atmosphere.

Bolivia, the landlocked country at the heart of South America, is an unforgettable destination. Traditional religions, languages, costumes and festivals of many thousands of years have been gilded by a layer of Spanish colonialism, resulting in a colourful and intriguing culture.

Coupled with this is the awe-inspiring natural beauty of the country, from the deep blue waters of Lake Titicaca framed by the snow-capped mountains on the horizon to the whitewashed colonial beauty of Sucre, from the multi-coloured lakes and salt flats of the southwestern plateau to the steamy jungles of the Amazon lowlands.

Bolivians are warm and welcoming, always pleased to see someone who takes the trouble to visit the country they are so rightly proud of, and they will ensure your stay is a memorable one.
