Bolivia

The city of La Paz, the administrative capital of Bolivia, is a manufacturing and export center. La Paz is located in the Andes Mountains. In this view of the city, the mountain called Illimani can be seen in the background.

Llamas serve as pack animals in the Altiplano, a high, treeless plateau stretching from southwestern Bolivia to southern Peru.

Potosí, which is situated more than 4,180 m (13,710 ft) above sea level, is one of the world’s highest inhabited cities. It is a leading mining center for Bolivia. Pictured here is a man working at the Comsur Don Diego Zinc Processing Plant in Potosí.

Few residents live in the Yungas region of Bolivia, which is northeast of the Andean highlands on the eastern slopes of the Andes Mountains. It is one of four major land regions in the country.

Lake Titicaca in northern Bolivia is the second largest lake in South America and the highest navigable lake in the world. Native Americans living in this treeless region make canoes out of tule or other bulrushes lashed together. The region around the lake contains architectural remains of early Native American civilizations; some of these remains date to before the Inca civilization.
