Bolivia??? Where is it???

A lot of people ask me: “Where are you from?” and when I answer them “I am from Bolivia” most of the times the reaction is… Bolivia??? Where is it??? Or sometimes they just pretend to know where it is, but their weird looks tell me they don’t know.
Well, for those who don’t know anything about Bolivia, here you have some information:

The Republic of Bolivia is the heart of South America, since it is situated at the middle of this continent, therefore, we don’t have sea. It is bordered by
Brazil on the north and east, Paraguay and Argentina on the south, and Chile and Peru on the west. Our Independence Day is August 6th and the official language is Spanish but we have some dialects such us Aymara, Quecha and Guarani.

Bolivia is the 28th largest country in the world with 1,098,581 square kilometers.
It is divided in 9 cities: La Paz, Cochabamba, Santa Cruz, Oruro, Potosi, Sucre, Tarija, Beni and Pando, all of them with different beautiful landscapes and places to visit.

Some examples of the most popular places to visit in my country are:
-Titicaka Lake
-Salar de Uyuni
-Los Yungas
-Sajama Mountain
-Chapare
-Oruro’s Carnival
