恋恋风尘玻利维亚 (一)- Simply Superlative


1.1 玻利维亚 - Simply Superlative

Simply Superlative - this is Bolivia. A truly extraordinary place!

It's the hemisphere's highest, most isolated and most rugged nation. It's among the earth's coldest, warmest, windiest and steamiest spots. It boasts among the driest, saltiest and swampiest natural landscapes in the world. It's absolutely Sounth America's most indigenous country too. The beauty is just unparalleled!

Come and see through your own eyes, and live superlatively!

“人生就像一个旅行团,既然已经参加了这个团,多看一个城市也是好的。” 我的心好大,已不是多看一个城市了,而是整个世界。不知道有生之年可不可以完成自己的愿望,但行走,并不需要什么理由!

三年前的秘鲁之行至今仍回味无穷,对那高高的安第斯山脉的渴望随着日子的消逝却越来越难以阻挡。于是在2008年的五月,又上路了。此行的目的地是安第斯高原上的内陆国家玻利维亚,因为她Unparralleled的美丽!
