Bolivia is the only landlocked Andean country; it is called the Tibet of the Americas, the highest and most isolated country of Latin America, its geographical and climatic zones range from snowcapped Andean peaks to vast, low-lying savannas and jungles. It has a largely indigenous Indian population that has preserved its native languages and much of its traditional way of life. It borders Peru and Chile in the west, Brazil in the east, and Paraguay and Argentina in the south.

The western part, enclosed by two chains of the Andes, is a great plateau—the Altiplano, with an average altitude of 12,000 ft (3,658 m). Almost half the population lives on the plateau, which contains Oruro, Potosí, and La Paz. At an altitude of 11,910 ft (3,630 m), La Paz is the highest administrative capital city in the world. The Oriente, a lowland region ranging from rain forests to grasslands, comprises the northern and eastern two-thirds of the country.

The country combines awe-inspiring land scapes, colonial treasures, colorful indigenous cultures and remnants of mysterious ancient civilizations. Volunteering Solutions has Volunteer Programs in Santa Cruz city of Bolivia.
