Ten Reasons Why You Should Visit Bolivia

If you are the type of person who enjoys the adventure as well as a diverse culture, then, I have found your next destination. Bolivia, a country located in South America provides travelers with an unforgettable experience. From the minute the plane begins to fly over Bolivian territory you will fall in love with its majestic mountains and scenery. Leaving you anxious to explore and learn more about what this country has to offer. I, have been fortunate enough to experience Bolivia's culture, landscapes, and history. Therefore, I decided to come up with a list of 10 places that you must visit when you arrive at the "heart" of South America.

1. Salar de Uyuni

If you have ever dreamed about dancing with the stars or seeing the horizon that may seem never-ending then, the salt flats in Uyuni are your first destination.

2. Parque Nacional Noel Kempff Mercado

One of my favorite things about Bolivia is the beautiful natural scenery. Personally, I love hiking and if you give me a view like this, let us just say I could spend my whole life hiking.

3. Copacabana

Copacabana is one of the oldest existing cities in Bolivia. It is enriched in culture and historic sites.

4. Lago Titicaca

'El Lago Titicaca' is known to be one of Bolivia's greatest treasure. One side belongs to Bolivia while the other borders Peru. The legend states that at the bottom of the lake there is a lost city made out of gold. The huge frogs are considered to be the guardians of the city.

5. Sucre

Sucre known is considered to be the "white city" of Bolivia. The reason this name was given is because of the white architecture found in every aspect of the city. Sucre constitutionally is the capital of Bolivia.

6.Cristo De La Concordia

One of the most beautiful places to visit is "El Cristo" in Cochabamba. Visiting this place very early in the morning or around sunset will give you a magnificent view of the city of Cochabamba.

7.Tinkus

In every aspect of the Bolivian culture, you will see the colorful attires. What really blows the tourist away is the dances. One of the major dances practice in the Bolivian culture is called Tinkus.

8. Valle de La Luna

This specific places is the called Moon Valley and is found on the outside part of La Paz. After the sun goes down this place turns into an arena of stars. This is the perfect spot for star-gazing. Where you are going to feel the moon so close.

9. Death Road-Yungas

The name of this road truly describes the risk that many travelers take. This is called the "death road" it leads to a place in Bolivia called the Yungas. Where the traditional 'Saya' first was danced among the Afro-Bolivians.

10. Laguna Colorada

La Laguna Colorada, "The Red Lake" is must visit. It's a place where the visual in front of you will seem very unrealistic.

Currently, Bolivia has set up a huge tourist department known as Bolivia Te Espera. The link for this department helps many tourists find their way around the country and truly have an experience of a lifetime.

Even though I have yet to be here for a month, I have already experienced many thoughts and problems that only a new college student can relate to.

"Make sure to get involved when you're in college!"

We've all heard some variation of this phrase, whether it came from parents, other family members, friends, RAs, or college-related articles. And, like many clichés, it's true for the most part. Getting involved during your college years can help you make friends, build your resume, and feel connected to your campus. However, these commitments can get stressful if you're dealing with personal issues, need to work, or aren't sure how to balance classes and everything else going on during the semester.

In college, one of the essential things to have is friends. Yes, textbooks, a laptop, and other school supplies are important but friends are essential. Friends are that support system everybody needs. The more friends you have the better the support system you have. But you also have someone to share experiences with. And don’t settle for just one or two friends because 8 out of 10 times they are busy and you are studying all alone. Or they have other friend groups that do not include you. Don’t settle for just one or two friends; make as many friends as you can. After the first couple of weeks of college, most friend groups are set and you may be without friends.

You dizzily reach for a hoodie, craving its comfort, and rush for a speedy exit, praying you will have time to pick up coffee. Does this sound familiar?
