Bolivia

Bolivia is a country located in the heart of South America, bordered by Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Peru. It is a country with great geographical diversity, including the Andes mountains, the Andean plateau (Altiplano), and the plains of the Amazon basin. Bolivia has two capitals: La Paz, the seat of government and the administrative capital, situated high on the Altiplano, and Sucre, the constitutional capital and seat of the judiciary.
