Caption: Bolivia truly amazing landscapes
Caption: One of the highest and most remote countries on earth, much of Bolivia remains untouched by the passage of time. Bolivia has more indigenous peoples than any other country in the Americas. For travelers, Bolivia offers a diverse mix of multi-ethnic cultural experiences, magnificent natural landscapes and extreme adventures.

Caption: Known as the “City of Four Names”, Sucre is also called Charcas, La Plata and Chuquisaca. Founded in the 1500s by Spanish colonials, Sucre offers visitors a clear glimpse of life in aristocratic Spain in the 16th century.
Caption: The “rich mountain” or “Cerro Rico” that towers over the city of Potosí once held the silver that lured Spanish Conquistadors to the world’s highest city. Cerro Rico is the ideal travel destination for those who want to explore the affect that colonization had upon the indigenous people of Bolivia. Although the silver is long gone, tin is still mined from Cerro Rico.

Caption: Visiting the silver mine in Potosi is a deeply moving experience. With the miners working for just a few dollars a week this sadly still continues to this day, with poor health and safety and nightmarish working conditions. Silicosis of the lungs is a big killer and lots won’t live to see their 40th birthday.

Caption: Tupiza lies in the south of Bolivia, just above Argentina. It is a relaxed town surrounded by arid red mountains and cactus-strewn badlands, and is the perfect place to live out your cowboy dreams.

Caption: Legend has it that Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid met their end here, at the hands of the Bolivian army - and thereby ending their notorious string of bank robberies.

Caption: The Eduardo Avaroa Andean Fauna National Reserve in the harsh Southwest Circuit region of Bolivia was created to protect the endangered vicuna and the llareta plant.
Picture
Caption: The reserve is also home to some of the planet’s most unusual landscapes. Bright white salt flats and the rainbow-colored mineral lakes of Los Lipez are both much too harsh to support human life but are a refuge for many rare and endangered South American species.

Caption: A trip here feels much like a trip to a strange and beautiful new planet.
Picture
Caption: An evocative and eerie sight, the Salar de Uyuni, the world’s largest salt flat (12,106 sq km) sits at 3653m (11,984ft). One of the truly amazing sights of Bolivia, it is a surreal landscape - like something out of a sci-fi movie.

Caption: When the surface is dry, the salar is a pure white expanse of the greatest nothing imaginable – just blue sky, white ground and you.

Caption: Isla Incahuasi is a rocky outcrop of land in the middle of Salar de Uyuni.
It’s an other-worldly experience that has to be seen to be believed.
Caption: One of the sights of Bolivia that should not be missed is Lake Titicaca, which sits on the borders of Bolivia and Peru.It is the highest lake in the world at 12,500 feet above sea level and is the largest lake in South America.
Archaeologists have uncovered an ancient temple and the site is further considered as the birthplace of the Inca civilization, in particular the Isla de Sol (Island of the sun).

Caption: It might seem odd including a city in the list of best landscapes in Bolivia but, La Paz more than deserves its mention.
As the world’s highest capital city, it looks spectacular from any angle – if you get the chance to see it from the air – do so!
