Evo Morales:
Juan Evo Morales Ayma (born October 26, 1959), popularly known as Evo,is a Bolivian politician and cocalero activist who has served as President of Bolivia since 2006. Widely regarded as the country's first president to come from the indigenous population,[a] his administration has focused on the implementation of leftist policies, poverty reduction, and combating the influence of the United States and transnational corporations in the Plurinational State of Bolivia. A democratic socialist, he is the head of the Movement for Socialism (MAS) political party.Born to an Aymara family of subsistence farmers in Isallawi, Orinoca Canton, Morales undertook a basic education before mandatory military service, in 1978 moving to Chapare Province. Growing coca and becoming a trade unionist, he rose to prominence in the campesino (rural laborers) union, campaigning against U.S. and Bolivian attempts to eradicate coca as a part of the War on Drugs, which he denounced as an imperialist violation of indigenous Andean culture. He repeatedly engaged in anti-government direct action protests, resulting in multiple arrests. Entering electoral politics in 1995, he became the leader of the MAS and was elected to Congress. His campaign focused on issues affecting indigenous and poor communities, advocating land reform and the redistribution of gas wealth. Gaining increasing visibility through the Cochabamba protests and gas conflict, in 2002 he was expelled from Congress for encouraging protesters, although he came second in that year's presidential election.Elected president in 2005, Morales increased taxation on the hydrocarbons industry to bolster social spending, emphasising projects to combat illiteracy, poverty, racism, and sexism. Although vocally criticizing neoliberalism and reducing dependence on the World Bank and International Monetary Fund, his administration retained a liberal economic policy and oversaw strong economic growth. Scaling back U.S. influence in the country, he built relationships with leftist governments in the Latin American pink tide and signed Bolivia to the Bolivarian Alliance for the Americas. Attempting to moderate the left-indigenous activist community, his administration also opposed the right-wing autonomist demands of Bolivia's eastern provinces. Winning a recall referendum in 2008, he instituted a new constitution that established Bolivia as a plurinational state before being re-elected in 2009. His second term witnessed the continuation of leftist policies and Bolivia's joining of the Bank of the South and Community of Latin American and Caribbean States. After becoming the world's oldest professional footballer by signing to a Bolivian team, he was again reelected in the 2014 general election.
Morales is a controversial world figure, lauded by his supporters as a champion of indigenous rights, anti-imperialism, and environmentalism. Praised for seriously reducing poverty and illiteracy in Bolivia, he has been internationally decorated with various awards. Criticised from many perspectives on the political spectrum, right-wing opponents have labelled his administration as authoritarian and radical, while leftist, indigenous, and environmentalist critics have accused him of failing to live up to many of his espoused values.Wikipedia
Bolivia - The Land and Its People
Various images of the Bolivian landscape and the Bolivian people. The images are soft—sorry about that. Bolivia is one of my favourite trips — I loved the people and I loved the country itself. It's sad, but it's true, that poor countries are much more human.
I live in Canada. I'm not rich by Canadian standards, but I think I'm rich because I've met wonderful people in poor countries. We have wonderful people in Canada too of course. Life is confusing. I try to express my feelings more, now that I'm getting old, in the hope that others may get back to me with their feelings. But no one does. C'est la vie.
Bolivia
Bolivia,is a landlocked country in central South America. It is bordered by Brazil to the north and east, Paraguay and Argentina to the south, and Chile and Peru to the west.
Prior to European colonization, the Bolivian territory was a part of the Inca Empire, which was the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. During most of the Spanish colonial period, this territory was called Upper Peru or Charcas and was under the administration of the Viceroyalty of Peru, which included most of Spain's South American colonies. After declaring independence in 1809, 16 years of war followed before the establishment of the republic, named for Simón Bolívar, on August 6, 1825. Bolivia has struggled through periods of political instability, dictatorships and economic woes.
Bolivia is a democratic republic, divided into nine departments. Its geography is varied from the peaks of the Andes in the west, to the eastern lowlands, situated within the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country, with a medium Human Development Index score, and a poverty level around 60%. Its main economic activities include agriculture, forestry, and fishing, mining and manufacturing goods such as textiles, clothing, refined metals, and refined petroleum. Bolivia is very wealthy in minerals especially tin.
The Bolivian population, estimated at 9 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Mestizos, Europeans, Asians and Africans. The main language spoken is Spanish, although the Aymara and Quechua languages are also common. The large number of different cultures within Bolivia has contributed greatly to a wide diversity in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music. ( source Wikipedia )

Bolivia
Un tour por Bolivia.
An enormous diversity of ecological zones are represented within Bolivia's territory. The western highlands of the country are situated in the Andes mountains and include the Bolivian Altiplano. The eastern lowlands include large sections of Amazonian rainforests and Chaco. The highest peak is Nevado Sajama at 6,542 metres (21,463 ft) located in the department of Oruro. Lake Titicaca is located on the border between Bolivia and Peru. The Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, lies in the southwest corner of the country, in the department of Potosí.
Major cities are La Paz, El Alto, Santa Cruz de la Sierra, and Cochabamba.
Bolivia's ethnic distribution is estimated to be 30% Quechua-speaking and 25% Aymara-speaking Amerindians. The largest of the approximately three-dozen native groups are the Quechuas (2.5 million), Aymaras (2 million), then Chiquitano (180,000), and Guaraní (125,000). So the full Amerindian population is at 55% and the remaining 30% is Mestizo (mixed Amerindian and European) and around 15% are Whites.
Bolivian culture has been heavily influenced by the Quechua, the Aymara, as well as by the popular cultures of Latin America as a whole.
The best known of the various festivals found in the country is the Carnaval de Oruro, which was among the first 19 Masterpieces of the Oral and Intangible Heritage of Humanity, as proclaimed by the UNESCO in May of 2001.
Entertainment includes football (soccer), which is the national sport, as well as table football, which is played on street-corners by both children and adults.
Zoos are a popular attraction, with a diverse population of interesting creatures, but with lack of proper funding.
Bolivia is divided into nine departments (departamentos); capitals in parentheses:
Beni (Trinidad)
Chuquisaca (Sucre)
Cochabamba (Cochabamba)
La Paz (La Paz)
Oruro (Oruro)
Pando (Cobija)
Potosí (Potosí)
Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz de la Sierra)
Tarija (Tarija)
Geography of Bolivia
At 1,098,580 km² (424,135 mi²), Bolivia is the world's 28th-largest country (after Ethiopia). It is comparable in size to Mauritania, and it has about 1.5 times the area of the US state of Texas. [10]

More Revelations At Puma Punku In Bolivia
Puma Punku is a very enigmatic ancient site on the altiplano of Bolivia near Lake Titicaca. Though most scholars believe that a rather primitive bronze age culture created it, in this video you will see clear evidence that such a theory is impossible.

beautiful Bolivia
Bolivia,A beautiful country with awesome traditions and great music, Amazing andean landscapes. Bring your dancing shoes.
Simply superlative -- this is Bolivia. It's the hemisphere's highest, most isolated and most rugged nation. It's among the earth's coldest, warmest, windiest and steamiest spots. It boasts among the driest, saltiest and swampiest natural landscapes in the world. Although the poorest country in South America (and boy do Bolivians get tired of hearing that), it's also one of the richest in terms of natural resources,arts and music. It's also South America's most indigenous country, with over 60% of the population claiming indigenous heritage, including Aymará, Quechua, Guaraní and over 30 other ethnic groups. Bolivia has it all...except, that is, for beaches.
This landlocked country boasts the soaring peaks of the Cordillera Real around Sorata and the hallucinogenic salt flats of Uyuni, the steamy jungles of the Amazon Basin and wildlife-rich grasslands of the Southeast. Unparalleled beauty is also reflected in its vibrant indigenous cultures, colonial cities such as Sucre and Potosí, and whispers of ancient civilizations. This is exactly what attracts visitors, and with good reason. Bolivia is now well and truly on travelers' radars; opportunities for cultural and adventure activities and off-the-beaten-path exploration have exploded. But while most travelers stick to the well-worn paths of the Altiplano, there's plenty to be found elsewhere, including the tropical east and the lowland regions in the south.
Bolivia's social and political fronts have been in flux since the appointment of the country's first indigenous president. Optimism is generally high, especially among the indigenous majority, although many changes are afoot. Protests, marches and demonstrations are a perpetual part of the country's mind-boggling landscape. This is a truly extraordinary place. Put on your high-altitude goggles, take a deep breath (or three) and live superlatively.

Part Four of the HEREWHEREWEARE travel films sees us travel from the Atacama desert in Chile through to the salt flats in Bolivia and beyond. The contrasting landscapes in Bolivia are incredible, from the salt flats, colonial cities and jungle - there is so much to see and explore. The traditions of this country are still well embedded and I feel lucky to have experienced Bolivia now as I'm sure times will change as it evolves and adapts.

Bolivia. Латинская Америка. Боливия
Боливия -- красная, желтая, синяя, зеленая - страна контрастов. Для туриста здесь сплошь необычные ландшафты, инопланетные пейзажи, удивительные горы и озера.
Озеро Солончак Уюни - самое большое высохшее соленое озеро в мире глубиной до 8 метров на высоте около 3650 м. над уровнем моря. Имеет площадь 10 582 км² и является крупнейшим солончаком в мире. В сезон дождей озеро превращается в самое большое в мире зеркало. На озере стоит соляной отель с инвентарем и мебелью из соли. Озеро также является инструментом для тестирования и калибровки приборов дистанционного зондирования на орбитальных спутниках.
Остров Рыбы - оазис посреди ровной белой поверхности. Здесь растут гигантские кактусы высотой до 5 метров. Лагуна Чалвири самая красочная из всех лагун. Различные термальные источники выходят здесь на поверхность и смешиваются, образуя разноцветные реки.
Руины древнего города Тиуанако - одна из неразгаданных тайн человечества. Современных специалистов поражают технологии обработки каменных блоков и качество их кладки. Они настолько плотно прилегают друг к другу, что между ними невозможно просунуть даже лист бумаги! Тиуанако, согласно преданиям местных индейцев, был построен еще до того, как в небе появились звезды. В комментариях испанского биолога Бертрама Гарсии есть такая запись, сделанная в XVI веке: В надписях, вырезанных на камнях Тиуанако, утверждается, что совершенно иного облика человеческие существа, имевшие перепонки и отличную от нашей кровь, прибывая с иной планеты, обнаружили самое высокогорное озеро на Земле и решили устроить там свой дом.
