 BOLIVIA    MAPS & PLAN 

Photos  Map & Plan  Diary 1 2 3 4

Bolivia have everything from alpine peaks to Amazonian jungle. See the climate map below. I have found a few sights, I'll be driving around between. However, I expect the drive in-between, through unspoiled nature, will be the main attraction. My main interest is the desert, but I do enter the jungle as well.
Realising it is a slow country to travel, I have cut off a few corners on my original tour, found in the button.
