The country I am doing for my Cultural heritage project is Bolivia. The geography of Bolivia is unique among the nations of South America. The main features of Bolivia's geography include the Altiplano, a highland plateau of the Andres, and Lake Titicaca, the highest navigable lake on Earth, which is shared with Peru.

Lake Titicaca moderates the climate for a considerable distance around it, making crops of maize and wheat possible in sheltered areas.

The otherwise somewhat introvert Bolivians – at least in the highlands – open up as soon as they participate in a parade to honor the Virgin, or have drunk some chichas, an alcoholic, homemade drink made of corn. I really enjoyed visiting and traveling to Bolivia. To me Bolivia was one of the best places I have ever been to due the cold nice weather they have
