Bolivia is a gorgeous South American country landlocked between Chile and Peru (to the west), Paraguay and Argentina (south), and Brazil (north and east). Like many of its other South American counterparts, its climates vary a great degree depending on location and elevation. The western Highlands of the Andes are part of the Altiplano (high plateaus), while the eastern lowlands of the nation are all a part of the Amazon Rainforest. While taking Spanish courses in Bolivia students can learn about the indigenous people of including the Quechua and Aymaras, or visit the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat. Travelers interested in Bolivia’s urban landscape should explore La Paz, Sucre, and Santa Cruz to experience Bolivia’s governmental and economic hubs, and should visit Cochabamba for great food and the hidden valley town of Quime for genuine Bolivian culture.
