Bolivia: Cities
built 630 days ago
Many of the main roads in Bolivia are in poor condition but still navigable by most regular cars. While the minibus costs a paltry 0.22 USD, you might find it worth it to rent a car for convenience sake. Few roads signs, blockades for repair and in the city, fast moving buses are all hazards you need to be prepared for.

Beginning in December 2005 Bolivia has had a series of elections that have set the agenda of IRI’s program. Initially the program focused on the general election that took place in December 2005. IRI produced How to Vote, a pamphlet that educated citizens on the voting process for the general elections. A second pamphlet, How to Choose a Candidate, recommended effective mechanisms to help citizens learn more about the candidates and their campaign platforms.

Bolivia is divided into nine departments. Sixty percent of the population in Bolivia resides in urban centers. Approximately 46% of the population is concentrated in the capital cities of each department. The migration trend is toward further urbanization, as the population in the main cities is growing at a rate of 4.16% annually versus an overall population growth rate of 2.4%. The following table shows the breakdown of the population by department, as of 1994.

In southern Bolivia the Andes become much wider and are formed by a high, tilted block called the Puna, with west-facing escarpments and more gentle eastward slopes down to the plains. The Puna is broken up by the Valles, a system of fertile valleys and mountain basins that are generally larger and less confined than those in the Yungas. They lie at elevations mostly between 6,000 and 9,500 feet (1,800 and 2,900 metres) and are noted for their rich, varied agriculture and the so-called garden cities of Cochabamba, Sucre, and Tarija.
