Facts About Bolivia | Sports, Climate, Rock Climbing

A landlocked country is one which is enclosed by land. Bolivia is considered such. It is located in central South America. Its northern and eastern parts are bounded by Brazil, the western area by Chile and Peru, while the southern region is bordered by both Argentina and Paraguay. Below are more interesting quick facts about Bolivia that you may want to consider before you set a schedule for your next trip.

Climate

The weather in Bolivia can differ significantly from one region to another. The tremendous diversity in heights and the quantity of rainwater a particular area receives provide the country a mixture of characters. Simply put, the country experiences two seasons – winter and summer.

The period of November to March is what they consider their summer months, when it is usually warmer, yet heavy rain takes place too. On the other hand, winter occurs in the country from April to October, characterized by a cold and dry environment. Thus, that is the best time to take holiday in Bolivia – to go rock climbing, trekking, or hiking.

Rock Climbing

Bolivia offers a variety of recreational activities and sports – football, mountain biking, golf, tennis, and more! But the more adventurous ones made good use of the country's mountain ranges, believing that Bolivia is second to none. Here are the reasons why:

• The Cordillera Real, popular for having eight peaks going above 6000m, is situated in Bolivia and it also plays as their leading rock climbing district. From the town of La Paz, both climbing and ice walking missions in this historical range can be enjoyed with a choice of more practical routes.


• Bolivia is a pristine secret. Its mountains are not frequented by most climbers since the country is not that accessible. What they do not know is that the summits in Bolivia glow for their amazing beauty, making any climb a challenging yet satisfying one. See for yourself if you must!


• Bolivia has a stable climate. In those fixed months of winter and summer, it will not be difficult for outdoor enthusiasts to schedule their trips.

Come up with your final timetable now and you're in for a treat! Aside from the array of culture and ecological activities in Bolivia, there are still multitude of places and mountains to be explored – more than research could ever show!
