Capital: La Paz
Lenguage: Spanish, Quechua, Aymara
Population: 9.119.152
Geography: Covers an area of 1.098.581 km2. The southeast of Bolivia is dominated by the Andes Mountain range, divided into two large regions by the altiplano plain. The Western Range shares a border with Chile. Its peaks reach between 5,700 m. and 6,500 meters. The highest point in Bolivia is Mt. Ancohuma, at 7,014 meters. The Eastern Range is dominated by the snowy peaks Illampu at 6,485 meters and Illimani at 6,882 meters, running in a northwest-southwest direction, opening towards the lowlands of the Amazon basin. Between the Western and Eastern Mountains is the Altiplano, which has an average height of 3,600 meters and is one of the highest populated areas in the world. Three-quarters of Bolivia is occupied by the eastern plains, which incline gradually from elevations of 450 meters to 200 meters at the borders with Brasil, Paraguay and Argentina. The northern plains of Beni are watered by the Beni and Mamoré Rivers, important tributaries of the great fluvial basin of the Amazon.
Climate: The climate of the Altiplano is cool and harsh all year long due to the elevation. Day temperature reach between 15 ºC y 18 ºC, and the nights are freezing, especially during the winter months (June through August). Precipitation reaches 700 mm. The Yungas are appreciably warmer as a result of their lower elevation, and possess a humid, sub-tropical climate characterized by heavy annual precipitation of over 1,250 mm, high humidity throughout the year, and an average annual temperature of 23 ºC. On the plains the climate is hot and sub-tropical, with heavy summer rains in the north and a drier, milder climate in the south.
