Bolivia is a country in South America which is bordered by Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru. Peru is full of rich Latin culture and has been heavily influenced by Spain. When visiting Bolivia you will see lots of artisans at work creating buildings, paintings, ceramics, goldsmiths, silversmiths and woodcarvers. Dance and music are also important to Bolivian culture and folk tales and music is distinctive – ‘devil dances’ are popular at the annual carnival of Ouruo, which is full of colourful costumes and movement. As with many poorer south American countries you need to exercise some caution when out and about, such as not carrying valuables with you or wearing precious jewellery which may gain attention.
