Bolivia is landlocked, 1 of only 2 countries in South America that are, so I understand why people skip it. It doesn’t yet have the massively popular draws like Machu Picchu, Galapagos or Patagonia that puts other countries at the top of tourists’ must-see lists. It also doesn’t yet have the buzz, mystique or romanticism in travelers’ eyes that a country like Colombia has (since visiting there I’ve met countless travelers who are quite anxious to visit). But I’ll tell you one thing… it is no question the most beautiful country I’ve visited in South America. It’s not even close.  
The showstopper is Uyuni & all it has to offer but then throw in Lake Titicaca’s Isla del Sol, an impressive fun city like La Paz & 4 equally charming but vastly different cities I also visited in Potosi, Sucre, Samaipata & Santa Cruz. The vistas while traveling between the cities are stunning so unless it was a night bus & my sleep was aided by a pill, my eyes were glued to the scenery outside the windows. I didn’t even get to a place that was tops on my list… Rurrenabaque… Bolivia’s charming little town serving as a launching point for trips to the Amazon & Madidi National Park. It was far too deep into rainy season & I felt as if my luck just couldn’t carry me to the Amazon & would soon run out. 
The people are as charming as the country itself. When told how long I was traveling in Bolivia (3 wks), they were happily taken aback & almost humbly incredulous that I’d spend that much time there. They’re quite a passionate & resolved people too as in nearly every city I visited (weo one… Copacabana), I ran into protests, environmental rallies & parades. Sometimes multiple events in a city. I really like their spirit. And I love their country.
