- »It has two capitals: Sucre is constitutional, La Paz holds the government.
- »Salar de Uyuni is the world's largest salt flat, and when a film of water covers it, the largest natural mirror.
- »Bolivia lost its coastline to Chile in 1879 and still maintains a navy on Lake Titicaca.
Bolivia touches five neighbours: Argentina to the south, Brazil to the northeast, Chile to the south, Paraguay to the southeast and Peru to the northwest. Directions run from one centre to the other.
La Paz is the highest seat of government in the world at around 3,600 m, in a canyon below the El Alto plateau. Sucre remains the constitutional capital and holds the supreme court.

Red for the blood of heroes, yellow for mineral wealth, green for fertility. Bolivia also flies a second official flag, the Wiphala, a 49-square rainbow representing Andean indigenous peoples.
