Bolivia is a country of superlatives. It has the highest navigable lake in the world, the highest commercial airport, the highest golf course, the highest ski run, and the highest capital, one of the oldest ruins and what is said to be the highest concentration of cosmic rays on earth.

For centuries, llama trade caravans have provided the principal link between shepherds of the Andean highlands and agriculturists who inhabit the valleys.

Historically, the traditional “Haciendas” in Bolivia were engaged in mixed livestock and crop production. Some of them were plantations, mines, or even business factories.

The music of Bolivia can be described as the heartbeat of the country. Each region has its own distinctive music that reflects its particular lifestyle, its mood and its physical surroundings.
