What's a fun fact about Bolivia? |
I'm giving a presentation on Bolivia, and I'm supposed to mention an interesting fact or two about it, but everything I seem to find is very political or just..not presentation-appropriate. See, this is for a beginner Spanish course, and we're supposed to do a simple presentation on a Spanish-speaking country. I'm just looking for a light, fun fact. Any help would be greatly appreciated. =) |

Lake Titicaca is the highest navigable lake in the world.
La Paz is the highest capital in the world.
Unfortunately the road from La Paz to Yungas is one of the most deadliest in the world.
It is one of two landlocked nations in South America
The potato originated in the Andean regions of Peru and Bolivia and was utilized by the Incas about 2,000 years before the arrival of Spanish explorers.
It is the poorest country in South America, although during colonial times (before 1809), Bolivian silver mines produced much of the Spanish empire's wealth.
It actually has TWO capitals... Sucre, the constitutional and judicial capital, and La Paz, the administrative.
It is home to the largest salt flats in the world. El Salar the Uyuni salt flats cover an area of 4,000 square miles. Over three times the size of Rhode Island and almost half the area of New Jersey.
If you are married, you can vote at 18. If you are single you must wait until you are 21.
Although Bolivia has no access to the ocean, they do have a Navy. |

Che Guevara was killed in 1967 by the Bolivian Army in the jungles near Santa Cruz after failing to mobilize a communist peasant insurgent movement.
Actually, the poster saying La Paz is at 11,900 is not correct. It's much worse. The La Paz airport is much higher than La Paz. It is at 13,300 feet. I didn't get sick nor did I see anyone else get sick there. Just don't run the 50 yard dash up stairs ( I tried and lost my breath in 2 seconds). There are oxygen tanks for the people who do have problems. I don't think very many people have problems, just don't exert yourself. |

I know that it has towns on high elevations. I like mountains etc so to me that's exciting fact. But why don't you search for Bolivia on the internet and then decide what you would consider "interesting". What interests me might not interest you. |
