Photos of Bolivia
The Bolivian landscape is diverse, including the high altitude Andes Mountains and the Amazon basin. I visited both areas for the photos shown on this page. Bolivia is a landlocked country, with a largely very poor population. The child with a churango, shown in the photo below, was a homeless street kid that played for money. Seeing shoeless children with their possessions slung over their backs, bundled within colorful fabrics that are common to Bolivia was a frequent sight. The old woman in the photo below, was typical for her bowler hat and deeply wrinkled face. Bolivia still has extensive areas of unspoiled Amazon basin rainforest, making it a premier place for adventurous travelers to escape civilization and see tropical nature and wildlife as it's existed unchanged for centuries. The photo of the piranha was taken in the Rio Yacuma region of Bolivia. Larger versions of these photos of Bolivia can be viewed by using a mouse rollover or by using the Slideshow below.

Child With Churango
Bolivia is a very poor, land-locked country. Often, entire homeless families will beg for food outside of restaurants. This little boy played a churango on a street corner in La Paz for tips.
