Bolivia, officially known as the Plurinational State of Bolivia (Spanish: Estado Plurinacional de Bolivia),[8][9] is a landlocked country located in western-central South America. It is bordered to the north and east by Brazil, to the southeast by Paraguay, to the south by Argentina, to the southwest by Chile, and to the northwest by Peru. One-third of the country is within the Andean mountain range.
Santa Cruz de la Sierra is currently the largest and most populous city in Bolivia. It is located in the center of the country, on the banks of the Piraí River, in the eastern Bolivian plain. It has an altitude of 416 meters. The city is the most important of the Department of Santa Cruz. It is also considered the economic engine of the country. It was founded in 1561.

Climate
The climate of Bolivia varies drastically from one eco-region to the other, from the tropics in the eastern llanos to a polar climate in the western Andes.
.
Culture
Bolivian culture has been heavily influenced by the Quechua, the Aymara, as well as the popular cultures of Latin America as a whole.
The cultural development is divided into three distinct periods: precolumbian, colonial, and republican. Important archaeological ruins, gold and silver ornaments, stone monuments, ceramics, and weavings remain from several important pre-Columbian cultures. Major ruins include Tiwanaku, El Fuerte de Samaipata, Inkallaqta and Iskanawaya. The country abounds in other sites that are difficult to reach and have seen little archaeological exploration.
.
Cuisine
Cuisine in Bolivia stems mainly from the combination of Spanish cuisine with traditional indigenous Aymara/Inca ingredients, with the addition of later influences from German, Italian, Basque, Russian, Polish, and Arab immigrants.
.
Agriculture
Agriculture employed about 46 percent of the country's labor force. Most production, with the exception of coca, focused on the domestic market and self-sufficiency in food.
