All about Bolivia
Traditional Festivals
Because of Bolivia’s remoteness, it seems as if the passing of time
had stopped here, allowing the country to keep its old-rooted
traditions, exotic wildlife, and mighty natural landscapes very much
alive, still surrounded by an aura of mystery. All of Bolivia’s essence
come to life everytime Bolivians celebrate their local festivities. The
UNESCO heritage and the country’s largest annual celebration Carnaval de
Oruro (Oruro’s carnival) is the icon of Bolivians’ spirit and an only
opportunity to see a ritual that represents a fight between good and
evil; a fight bright in colors, costumes, music and energy. Bolivians
love and veneration for earth can be witnessed in the celebration of
Pachamama (Mother Earth), in which they thank and pay their respects to
Earth.

Bolivia’s most important expansion to its economy comes hand in hand
with some of its most valuable assets: its mineral deposits, including
petroleum and natural gas, and its renewable natural resources, such as
agricultural and natural forests. This is bringing about rapid
developments in agriculture, a growth of natural gas and oil
exploitation, and the modernization of telecommunications. Besides,
thanks to the country’s vast variety of natural and cultural resources,
as well as its improved economic and political stability, tourism is
starting to play an increasingly important role as Bolivia attracts
larger number of foreign sightseers.
