I've heard nothing but raves about Bolivia. It's on my list. But now I have to hurry because soon it'll be over-run by pasty white PBHrs!

I spent 6 months in Bolivia in 2005 and loved it. It´s a beautiful country with wonderful people. La Paz is an amazing city.

In fact I'd like to visit every country in Latin America... that's why I'd be interested in knowing a little bit more of other Latinamerican countries...

GRACIAS PETE!!!

I'd REALLY like to hear more first-hand experience in Bolivia. I have an online amiga who just annoys the hell out of me, to see her country. She's in Santa Cruz. Landlocked doesn't really ring my chimes, since I'm a sailor- but there seems to be good air service in the general area.

I've been slowly investigating online....Bolivia seems to be an undiscovered expat paradise. Beautiful country, and cheap cost of living.

Looking forward to learning more

Yes, isla del sol, on lago titicaca.

It`s imo the most beautiful place in South America.

I heard Bolivia is the only landlocked country in the world with a navy. Is this true? (por que lago titicaca) That is also the highest elevation major lake in the world too ... from what I heard? I would love to visit Bolivia someday. I hope this section of Poor But Happy takes off so I can learn more about that country. Because I don't know sh**. And I hate being ignorant.

Robert Jorge - I don't know how people define "major lake" but Tititcaca is the highest commercially navigable lake in the world. It's about 140 miles long and up to 70 miles wide. The Navy exists up there, too - because the lake is an international border with Peru and (some say) to keep the skills alive should Bolivia ever regain access to the sea, which they lost in a war with Chile over 100 years ago.

I wanted access to health care, housing and education, but, no, I get potholes, trash and silicone tits instead. -Desi.

I guess I didn't have the vocabulary for "commercially navigable lake". But, that is essentially what I meant by "major lake." Thanks for the info!

Don't think Bolvia will get that land back in a hurry, I heard from a Chileno friend in Glasgow that the piece of land which was taken by Chile has many copper mines.
Peter, whats your opinion on the safety in Bolivia? I did read somewhere on the internet that due to Bolivia being about the poorest in South America that robberies and kidknappings of backpackers was becoming popular.

I forgot to say, those pictures are amazing. Not unlike some scenery you would see in the Highlands and Islands of Scotland.
