Bolivia, having no coastline, has been termed the Hermit Republic of South America. Its territory is over 600,000 square miles in extent, and within its bounds Nature displays almost every possible panorama, and all climates. There are burning plains, the home of the emu, armadillos, and ants; sandy deserts, where the wind drifts the sand like snow, piling it up in ever-shifting hills about thirty feet in height. Bolivia, shut in geographically and politically, is a world in itself--a world of variety, in scenery, climate, products and people. Its capital city, La Paz, has a large population, but the vast interior is nearly uninhabited in many parts. In the number of inhabitants to the square mile, Bolivia ranks among the lowest of all the nations of the earth. Click here to read more.
