Although it is believed that Bolivia is an Andean country, most of the country is formed y Rain Forest and Valleys. Bolivia is one of South America's more intriguing countries, as one with the most indigenous population on the continent, the majority of whom still maintain their firmly established culture and beliefs. This living historical culture is one of the reasons that Bolivia is such an exciting tourist destination. Travelers will encounter shy people in traditional clothing, colorfully dressed and red-cheeked from the mountain air. The landscape is imbued with traditional houses and age-old methods of agriculture, and visitors will find remarkable traditions kept alive in the ancient techniques of weaving, handcraft and food production. The sounds of this cultural legacy echo in the haunting melodies of the panpipes from the high Altiplano or in the lively tunes emanating from the warmer lowlands. The dramatic geography affords many adventure opportunities: explorers can track wildlife in the Amazonian basin, drive across the surreal landscape of the Salar de Uyuni, take a boat trip on the world's highest navigable lake, Titicaca, scramble through muddy shafts in the silver mines of Potosi, or hike in the magnificent Andes mountains. There is enough diversity to meet many tastes. The country is a juxtaposition of extraordinary altitudes and spectacular landscapes, fascinating remains of ancient civilizations, a rich indigenous culture and vast colonial treasures.

Population
Bolivia is one of the poorest countries in Latin America. Poverty affects the quality of life of the majority of the population, and restricts the right to enjoy and exercise the human rights of those affected. According to the 2002 Poverty Map with information from the Census of 2001, 59 per cent of the population of over 8,274,325 inhabitants live in conditions of poverty and 24,4 per cent live in conditions of extreme poverty. However, many specialists maintain that these figures should be much higher as income and work are not considered when making this calculation.
