1. Naam:<\/strong>\u00a0Bolivia is vernoemd naar Simon Bol\u00edvar (echte naam: Sim\u00f3n Jos\u00e9 Antonio de la Sant\u00edsima Trinidad Bol\u00edvar y Palacios Ponte y Blanco) die begin 1800 Peru, Venezuela, Colombia, Ecuador en Bolivia bevrijdde van de Spanjaarden.<\/p>\n

2. Salar de Uyuni:<\/strong>\u00a0De grootste zoutwoestijn ter wereld, Salar de Uyuni, ligt in het zuidwesten van Bolivia en beslaat 10.582 km2. Door zijn vlakke en stabiele karakter, sterke reflectie en grote hoogte is de woestijn zichtbaar vanuit de ruimte en wordt hij daarom gebruikt door satellieten die hun hoogtemeters kalibreren aan de Salar de Uyuni.<\/p>\n

3. Sucre:<\/strong>\u00a0Sucre is de offici\u00eble, constitutionele hoofdstad van Bolivia, waar ook het Hooggerechtshof is gevestigd. Sucre is vernoemd naar de 2e president van Bolivia, Antonio Jos\u00e9 de Sucre, die ook zijn naam gaf aan een van de voormalige munteenheden van Ecuador. Sucre heeft ongeveer 300.000 inwoners en is de grootste stad van het land. Dit type hoofdstad wordt ook wel een 'de jure' hoofdstad genoemd.<\/p>\n

4. La Paz:<\/strong>\u00a0La Paz - of 'Nuestra Se\u00f1ora de La Paz' zoals de stad eigenlijk heet - is de regeringszetel en administratieve hoofdstad van Bolivia. La Paz ligt op een hoogte van 3.650 meter en is daarmee de hoogste hoofdstad ter wereld. Er wonen 877.363 mensen en het is de op twee na grootste stad van Bolivia. Dit type hoofdstad wordt ook wel een 'de facto' hoofdstad genoemd.<\/p>\n

5. Titicaca:<\/strong>\u00a0Qua volume (hoeveelheid water) is het Titicacameer het grootste meer van heel Zuid-Amerika. Het wordt vaak 'het hoogst bevaarbare meer ter wereld' genoemd, hoewel dit alleen waar is als je alleen de grote commerci\u00eble boten meerekent. Het meer ligt op een hoogte van 3.812 meter.<\/p>\n

Feit: Potosi is een mijnstad gelegen op een hoogte van 4.090 meter. Het werd gesticht in 1545 en groeide al snel uit tot een van de grootste steden van Amerika. De Spanjaarden wonnen hier tussen 1556 en 1783 45.000 ton zilver.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n

6. Schuld-voor-natuur:<\/strong>\u00a0In 1987 deed Bolivia zijn eerste 'schuld-voor-natuurruil', waarbij een internationale organisatie een deel van de buitenlandse schuld van Bolivia kwijtschelde in ruil voor een overeenkomst dat de Boliviaanse staat de voortzetting van de exploitatie van een natuurreservaat zou veiligstellen en financieren. Meer specifiek werd het 135.000 hectare grote Beni biosfeerreservaat 'geruild' tegen 650.000 dollar aan staatsschuld.<\/p>\n

7. Biodiversiteit:<\/strong>\u00a0De 'megadiverse' landen zijn een groep landen waar de meeste soorten op aarde leven en die daarom worden beschouwd als zeer biodiverse landen. Bolivia is 1 van de 17 megadiverse landen ter wereld.<\/p>\n

8. Samenstelling van de bevolking:<\/strong>\u00a0Meer dan 60% van de Boliviaanse bevolking is inheems (voornamelijk Quechua of Aymara). De rest zijn Europeanen en gemengde rassen<\/p>\n

9. Aardgas:<\/strong>\u00a0Bolivia heeft de op \u00e9\u00e9n na grootste aardgasreserve van heel Zuid-Amerika. Daarnaast bevindt zich tussen 50% en 70% van de wereldlithiumreserves in de Boliviaanse zoutwoestijn Salar de Uyuni (hierboven genoemd).<\/p>\n

10. Potosi:<\/strong>\u00a0Potosi is een van de hoogst gelegen steden ter wereld (in de top 30 op 4.090 meter) en staat op de Werelderfgoedlijst van UNESO. Potosi werd in 1545 gesticht als mijnstad en groeide al snel uit tot een van de grootste steden van Amerika met meer dan 200.000 inwoners. Tussen 1556 en 1783 haalden de Spanjaarden niet minder dan 45.000 ton zilver uit de mijnen van de stad.<\/p>\n

Salar de Uyuni is de grootste zoutwoestijn ter wereld en ligt in het zuidwesten van Bolivia. De woestijn bevat 50-70% van alle lithium ter wereld en wordt ook gebruikt door satellieten om hun afstand tot de aarde te meten.<\/strong><\/em><\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
