Bolivia

This country has amazed me and terrified me more than I think any other nation has done. It ranges from high Andean mountains to swampy Amazonian basin, all criss crossed by roads that the sane would never consider driving on.

To avoid them at one point I even boarded a raft made of those notable shipbuilding materials tire tubes and twine, and floated for five days down the River Beni into Rurrenebaque.

Tomorrow I start making my way to Peru, and can't wait to see what that country holds in store.
