What do you think of Bolivia

Looks like the Turkey of late 90's.

Is not w & w as some of the neighbours :shifty:

Looks pretty good.

Looks nice. kay:

I've been to La Paz, the geography and forms of urbanism make it a very impressive city and the photos really don't do it justice. It feels much bigger than it's overall population.

I'm saving money and planning a trip to Bolivia, i hope to be there by february 2013. Can't wait to be there.

Bolivia is awesome, nice landscapes, cities and culture.

Neighbour of Brazil.

great thread on Bolivia, thanks for the beautiful photos...kay:

I've spent 20 days in western Bolivia as a tourist (Uyuni, Potosi, Sucre, La Paz). For a tourist, it is a dream: wonderful landscapes, nice and discret people, strong "exotic" traditions (remaining Andean culture for instance), interesting architectural heritage (especially Potosi and Sucre)... and it is very cheap! (because unfortunately it remains very poor too)
The other "good point" is also the relative security (compared to other south-American countries!)

I really think to go back there before this country get "westernized".

And La Paz is one of the most impressive city I have ever seen in my life (maybe the most impressive). Street life there is not "oppressive" also.

What makes La Paz so impressive? I've never been, but considering that 2 people have already used that word to describe it on this thread, I'm intrigued...

La Paz is at 3500 meters high... in average! It depends on where you are located in the city. The downtown is at 2600m and the poor neighboorhoods at more than 3800m... Sometimes there is a vertigo feeling.

a country of considerable growth. I think Cochabamba has a big room for economic boom.
