About this holiday
Bolivia is a landlocked, multi-ethnic country in central South America with diverse geography, ranging from high-altitude Andean peaks to Amazonian plains. Major centers include Sucre (constitutional/judicial capital) and La Paz (government seat). The population is concentrated in the Andean region, though Santa Cruz de la Sierra is a major industrial center in the eastern lowlands.
