Geography Of Bolivia

     The Andes Mountains rise through much of central Ecuador. About half the people live in the valleys and on the plateaus of the Andes. Quito, Ecuador's capital, lies more than 9,000 feet (2,700 meters) above sea level on an Andean plateau. A flat, partly forested, tropical plain extends west of the Andes along the Pacific Ocean. This coastal plain is developing faster than any other part of the country. About half the Ecuadorian people live there.

The geography of Bolivia is unique among the nations of South America. Bolivia is one of two landlocked countries on the continent (the other being Paraguay), and Bolivia is more urban (67%) than rural (23%). The main features of Bolivia's geography include the Altiplano, a highland plateau of the Andes, and Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake on Earth, which is shared with Peru.

The capital of Bolivia is La Paz. Bolivia is the most impecunious country in South America, which is depressing, but things have gotten better over the past 20 years. La Paz is the highest capital in the world, sitting about 12,000 feet above sea level. La Paz translates to “the peace,” which is abbreviated for “the Peace of Ayacucho.” They had an unscrupulous government, taking money from our people, affecting its economy in a terrible way. Bolivia has the second biggest area of natural gas in South America and also has El Mutun, which is the world’s biggest amount of magnesium and iron, but it is difficult for people to utilize our crops to acquire richness because of its terrible environment and horrible government.

About 60 percent of the population is Indian, about 30 percent are mestizo, and 10 percent are of white descendants (Gamarra 1991). Geographical and regional areas maintain racial and cultural differences. These areas include the Altiplano (high plains) in the Andes, Mountains, the llanos (low lands near the amazon basin), and the Yungas (semitropical valleys). Before we take a look into the historical background of Bolivia, it is important to point out that this nation is amongst the least united countries in the South American continent.

Nueva Granada, now known as Colombia, covered a vast majority of northwest South America. Until Spain colonized Nueva Granada, the individual tribes had successful government and social structures. Once colonized, the daily life of the people of New Granada was completely changed. The changes in every aspect of their lives can be shown by looking at how Colombia was before, during, and after its colonization.

The geographical makeup of Bolivia is mostly mountainous in the andes mountain chain. Bolivia is also home of the largest lake in South America, Lake Titicaca. The country has a load of rivers and lakes like the Mamore

Dyson Steph “Bolivia: Make time for South America’s most misunderstood country” October 12th, 2015, 1 page. Steph does a series of breakdowns highlighting all the “Misconceptions” that contribute to the low minimum of visitors the city actually receives. Compared to the popular neighboring South American countries such as Peru, Brazil and Argentina. Argentina was said to have 5.6 million visitors while Bolivia only received 800.000. Steph’s first focal point was that people may misconceive the locals of not being friendly but in fact it’s the inability of them being able to speak Spanish. Steph notes the unresponsiveness of the natives is just their incompetence during transactions with the tourist. Safety has also been a high plague on tourist

Juan Evo Morales Ayma is the current president of Bolivia, elected on December 2005, and is running a third presidential term.

As an adult, his position as leader of coca-leaf farmers’ unions allowed him to escalate his position to presidency. Evo Morales is a president with a rich backstory, and should be considered an idol for people to admire.
