Geocache Description:

Congrats to Caribbean2028 on the FTF! The listed coords are not for the cache! Answer the q's and check
your answers. I saw these caches, that this series was started by
Team Foxx and added to by HaLiJuSaPa, so since I had a few extra
cache containers and found a good spot, but not one that I had
planned to use for an upcoming cache, I decided to add to this
series, and may add more in the future.

From Team Foxx's note The point of the cache is to make caches about places around the world.We are trying to go from A to Z. The It's A Small World Series will go to 80 countries. Feel Free To Make Your Own, but make sure it is in alphabetical order!

Prior to European colonization, the Andean region of Bolivia was a part of the Inca Empire - the largest state in Pre-Columbian America. The Spanish Empire conquered the region in the 16th century. During most of the Spanish colonial period, this territory was called Upper Peru or Charcas and was under the administration of the Viceroyalty of Peru, which included most of Spain's South American colonies. After declaring independence in 1809, 16 years of war followed before the establishment of the Republic, named for Simón Bolívar, on August 6, 1825. Bolivia has struggled through periods of political instability, dictatorships and economic woes.
Bolivia is a Democratic Republic, divided into nine departments. Its geography is varied from the peaks of the Andes in the West, to the Eastern Lowlands, situated within the Amazon Basin. It is a developing country, with a Medium Human Development Index score, and a poverty level around 60%. Its main economic activities include agriculture, forestry, and fishing, mining and manufacturing goods such as textiles, clothing, refined metals, and refined petroleum. Bolivia is very wealthy in minerals, especially tin.
The Bolivian population, estimated at 10 million, is multiethnic, including Amerindians, Mestizos, and Europeans. The main language spoken is Spanish, although the Aymara and Quechua languages are also common and all three, as well as 36 other indigenous languages, are official. The large number of different cultures within Bolivia has contributed greatly to a wide diversity in fields such as art, cuisine, literature, and music.
