Bolivia is sort of in the center toward the west side of South America, west of Brazil. It is a little less than three times the size of Montana. Cochabamba is located just southeast of La Paz. Bolivia has tall mountains, the Andes, and flat plains. It is one of the poorest countries in South America. They grow soybeans, rice, potatoes, corn, coffee, cotton, and cocoa. Bolivia has some mining and natural gas industry. Their seasons are the opposite of ours here in the U.S. as they are south of the equator. When we have summer, they have winter. The primary language is Spanish; 95% of Bolivians are Roman Catholic.
