Bolivia
Bolivia might be among the poorest nations in South America, but its edifying prosperity, the greatly contrary Amazonian and Andean sceneries and the miscellany of inexplicable olden civilizations make it a wealthy and exhilarating place for your vacation. Bolivia offers its tourists much more than just postcards.
Travel to Bolivia
The national airline of Bolivia is Lloyd Aereo Boliviano (LAB). It offers its services both internationally as well as domestically. There are large number of direct flights to Bolivia from most parts of Europe and America. Reaching to other South American countries such as Argentina or Brazil first and then traveling to Bolivia via road make your traveling expenses quite low. The network of buses in Bolivia is not excellent because of the deficiency of good roads in the country. Most of the buses connecting various destinations of Bolivia depart in the night and you arrive at the destination in the morning. If you want to view some of the fabulous countryside, then taking a truck or hiring a care is a good idea. You can also use the network of railways connecting some parts of Bolivia.
Attractions
One of the major attractions in Bolivia is the El Salar de Uyuni, which is a desert. The savage loveliness of this huge salt desert formulates it one of South America's most overwhelming beauties. From bizarre islets in an ocean of blindingly dazzling salt to precisely colored mineral lagoons in the Andean ranges, this is treasured Bolivian scenery. Another popular attraction in Bolivia is Nacional Madidi national park. This national park offers the most vivid varieties of flora and fauna in the world. There are more than on thousand species of bids in the national park. There are areas in the park that are still populated by the natives of the region that carry out the traditional activities of hunting and fishing. It is a pleasure to watch them living with the resources that are available in the forests. Isla del Sol is extremely popular attraction among the tourists who have a taste for history. Isla del Sol means the ‘Island of the Sun’. It is the renowned Inca creation place and is the place of birth of the sun in Inca legends. It was at this point that the bearded pallid deity Viracocha and the foremost Incas, Manco Capac and his sister-wife Mama Huaca made their mystic appearances. There are many villages in the place. There is a site where there is a sacred rock, which is said to be the place where Inca creation legends actually started. There is a famous museum here, which includes artifacts of gold that were found in the underwater excavations in the north of Isla del Sol. The Museo Templo de Sol near Cha'lla has a great collection of things of Aymara, which were Bolivia’s largest native groups.

The official languages of Bolivia are Quechua, Aymara and Spanish. The dialects that come from mixing of Spanish with Aymara and Spanish with Quechua are also very popular in the nation.
