What is Bolivia famous for?

Bolivia is mostly known for the Salar de Uyuni (the world’s largest salt flat), the dangerous Death Road, its extremely high altitudes, and the deep indigenous Andean culture with its living traditions.

Because Bolivia is one of only two landlocked countries in South America, it feels like a place of extremes. You can find the highest administrative capital on Earth (La Paz), and the highest navigable lake, Lake Titicaca. People also point to the lively Oruro Carnival, the steady presence of Cholitas, indigenous women in traditional bowler hats and wide, heavy-looking skirts, plus a layered history connected to the Cerro Rico silver mines in Potosí, which helped fund the Spanish Empire in the past.
