Often dubbed the most quintessentially South American country, land-locked Bolivia suffered few changes during the Spanish Conquest - thanks in part to its harsh mountain landscapes and thick jungle which prevented large scale immigration by Europeans - and the native Indians have held onto many of their traditions, with some remote villages remaining virtually untouched for centuries.
The high altitude of most Andean tourist sites - its two biggest attractions, including La Paz, the world's highest capital city, and Lake Titicaca, are both higher than the top of Europe's tallest mountain - makes it a tough place to travel, but the spectacular scenery more than makes up for this and keeps a steady stream of tourists, including many adventure travellers, trickling in.
Bolivia is also the poorest country in South America, and the tourism infrastructure is not as developed as some of its richer neighbours. However, with a bit of patience and a willingness to rough it a bit, Bolivia can be a very rewarding and affordable country to visit.
