Bolivia is an unpredictable country, which is rich in natural beauty, but also desperately poor, with years of civil unrest driven by internal and external politics revolving around cocaine production. In the more travelled areas, Lake Titicaca is famously the world's highest naviagable lake, and has crystal clear water and pinsharp colours. The small town of Copacabana provides a relaxing spot to laze around and get acclimatised to Bolivia's many charms. La Paz is a little insane, with steep roads feeding into this frenetic city with masked shoe shine boys patroling around markets selling llama foetuses, with all of this next to an English pub with Sky Sports, and a hostel with its own microbrewery and rooftop hot-tubs. The trip around Salar de Uyuni is quite possibly the most spectacular thing you can do in South America, |
