Greetings to each of you.
Today someone from Bolivia came to visit this website.
The official name of Bolivia is officially the Plurinational State of Bolivia. It is a landlocked country located in western-central South America.
Bolivia is a country with a high percentage of biodiversity in its plants, insects and animals. Bolivia boasts over 17,000 species of seed plants, including over 1,200 species of fern, 1,500 species of marchantiophyta and moss, and at least 800 species of fungus. In addition, there are more than 3,000 species of medicinal plants. Bolivia is considered the place of origin for such species as peppers and chili peppers, peanuts, the common beans, yucca, and several species of palm. Bolivia also naturally produces over 4,000 kinds of potatoes.
When I visited Bolivia for 2 weeks in the 90's I recall visiting a small market out in the country side. It was fascinating to indeed see a number of small burlap bags, each with a different kind of potato.
Bolivia has more than 2,900 animal species, including 398 mammals, over 1,400 birds (about 14% of birds known in the world, being the sixth most diverse country in terms of bird species), 204 amphibians, 277 reptiles, and 635 fish, all fresh water fish as Bolivia is a landlocked country. In addition, there are more than 3,000 types of butterfly, and more than 60 domestic animals.
Lake Titicala, near the city of La Paz, By volume of water and by surface area, is the largest lake in South America. During the pre-colonial era, the local people created unique boats from reeds in the lake.
We give a heartfelt "bienvenido" welcome to visitors from Bolivia. We pray they will find hope, help and encouragement from the information on this website.
