"Backpackernes bibel" er ofte en sikker vinner, også for Sør-Amerika. Her får du det aller meste av informasjon du kan komme til å trenge, i en grundig og oversiktlig guide. Lonely Planet-guidene inneholder anbefalinger i flere priskategorier, og tar for seg et stort spenn av aktiviteter, steder og attraksjoner, og er dermed et godt valg for de fleste reisende. Guidene inneholder få bilder, og er dermed først og fremst en informativ, heller enn en inspirerende guide - men den er likevel garantert å vekke reiselysten i deg.

Let National Geographic's Bolivia Adventure Map guide you as you explore this South American country with one of the highest levels of biodiversity in the world. Quickly find your destination with the aid of a user-friendly index of cities, towns and protected areas. Then plan your route using the mapped road network, complete with distances and designations for major and secondary roads as well as tracks and trails for those seeking to travel off the beaten path.

In addition, hundreds of cultural, historical, ecological and recreational points of interest are pinpointed, such as camping areas, archeological sites, geysers, spas, churches and UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The map's north side covers the country from its northern borders with Brazil and Peru down to the capital of La Paz, including Madidi and Noel Kempff Mercado National Parks, Tiwanaku and Lake Titicaca.

Då den karismatiske Evo Morales vann presidentvalet i Bolivia i 2005, vekte det internasjonal oppsikt. Med radikale reformer skulle det sosialistiske partiet Movimiento al Socialismo (MAS) ta eit oppgjer med 500 år kolonialisme.

Sidan den gong har fattigdomen blitt halvert, og ein velferdsstat har sett dagens ljos. Men då Morales i 2020 stilte til val for tredje gong, i strid med grunnlova, blei det bråk. Høgresida kuppa makta, og det vart kampar i gatene. Etter eit år med uro, vart det endelig halde eit nytt, demokratisk val. Med ein ny presidentkandidat vann MAS makta tilbake.

Latin-Amerika-kjennaren Heidi Lundeberg gir oss historia om dei mange omveltingane Bolivia har gått gjennom. Me får møte Martha, som har fått stipend for å bli lege, Rosmery, som har fått innlagt vatn og straum, og Alberto, som har fått lønna si femdobla sidan MAS kom til makta.

No står Bolivia igjen ved eit vegskilje. Vil sosialistregjeringa lykkast med å redusere ulikskapane samstundes som dei møter forventingane til ei veksande middelklasse? Vil forsøket på industrireising lykkast? Og er det i Andes me kan finne inspirasjon til ei grønare og meir rettvis framtid?
