Bolivia
Sucre's home country
Bolivia is a landlocked country in South America, bordered by Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile, and Peru.
It has two capital cities: Sucre (constitutional) and La Paz (administrative).
Named after the revolutionary leader Simón Bolívar, Bolivia is known for its high-altitude terrain, including part of the Andes and the Altiplano plateau.
We traveled through Bolivia to see the salt flats.
