As a graduate student, I finally had the opportunity to work on a project in southern Bolivia. Although I had spent previous summers camping alone while conducting fieldwork in remote areas, this was to be my first journey overseas, to a country known variously for coca growing, revolution, and the final resting place of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.Bolivia is a beautiful country, though, offering many natural and cultural attractions. It also has a number of fine Spanish schools where you can learn the language without being disturbed or distracted by hordes of tourists.Real estate in Bolivia is expected to grow in the coming decade strongly due to the low property prices, compared to other Latin American countries. However, international investors had not fully realized or appreciated the potential of Bolivia for sale and Bolivia rentals. The main reason is that Bolivia is a mountainous country, further hidden by larger countries like Brazil, Argentina, Chile, Paraguay, and Peru. The Andes Mountains attract adventure tourists and visitors that like the old Inca ruins Biking on the Death Road from Yungas, the origin of the Amazon Basin is the favorite sport of thrill seekers in Bolivia.

The country's most famous visitors were Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, the American outlaws who fled to South America in the early 1900s - they are said to have had their last stand with the Bolivian army and are buried here. As recent as the 1980s, wise old men in towns throughout the Bolivian highlands could be heard gossiping about the fate of two of America's most notorious outlaws.At the last minute my friend Marisol, who runs a massage center, got her English classes canceled and agreed to watch the baby. My other friend Selva had two tickets to Bolivia and was using her second with her boy friend who at the last minute couldn't go... so there I was, with all logic saying I should be working for money for my baby getting on a bus with less than $80 on my way to Bolivia.

A major feature is the personalized service and recommendations based on our many years experience in traveling first hand in South America. We have experienced all styles of travel from backpacking & trekking to deluxe cruises and exquisite lodges & hotels. On each visit to the continent, we research and assess hotels, lodges, transport, services & guides.After another three hours of crawling through the frigid darkness, the road seemed nothing more than a gully, with sagebrush whipping the sides of the truck. Almost imperceptibly, we left the desert and a sheer rock wall suddenly loomed out of the darkness.
