    We’re traveling an Amazing Quest today people!
    Bolivia is the heart of the South American continent, a land of volcanoes and tropical jungles, where the sounds, the aromas and the colors are so rich and vibrant, it blows your mind. The people, descended from the Ancient Incas, are welcoming, and truly heartfelt friendly.
    The land with its rugged, dusty hues, bright blue lakes, in the midst of the Andes mountains - breathtaking. Erwann Guégan lives there, a Frenchman who's been in Bolivia for 2 years.
    in this Somewhere On Earth episode, Erwann has some stories to tell about Bolivia and the Bolivians.

    Bolivia in the 1960 was my home. It's so beautiful there. But it was also a bit of a war zone. As a child I witnessed the military massacre 1000 tin miners among other things. But I got to see a multitude of cultures there as a child as well. The country was 98% indigenous at the time. No tv. No fixed up roads for the trucks on tv now. It breaks my heart the damage that big gold mining does. Mi corazón se quedo en Bolivia.

      Yes it was still very poor in 2000, when I lived there. They had a water stand off with corps that year, was a bit dangerous. But a very natural place, the mountains are phenomenal. It was a great experience for me, I think every person should live in a country very different from their own, at least once in their life.

    I am a Cameroonian living in Cape Town, South Africa which is often sunny. The shot at 4:00 gave me nostalgic memories of growing up in Northwestern Cameroon because the terrain looks exactly like Cameroon : rolling green hills, banana trees and thick forests with dark clouds in the background and a glow of sunshine in the foreground. I just love it!

    I lived in Vallegrande for 15 months in 2000-01. It was great, perfect temperatures, except maybe June and July it was a bit cold. Went on the road of death by bicycle, wouldn’t do it again but I survived. There was a airport there also, for a small village it was unusual, Che Guevara was buried under the airport until about a year befor I went. Then I think they took him back to Cuba. The rules are out the window in Boliva! It was slightly dangerous but a good adventure.

    Erwann Guégan has produced a beautiful documentary of Bolivia. The topography of Bolivia is made evident. The peoples of Bolivia are made known. A Frenchman making commentary in English about a Spanish speaking country. He clearly has many strings in his bow!
    When I left school at 18 in 1976, I deferred entry to University by one year to think about my undergraduate choice of study. My original intention was to travel from Rio de Janeiro to New York with pack on my back. It never happened, and I still have not visited South America. I ended up flying to Perth Western Australia, and from there, I travelled thousands of miles ending up in India.

    That is the old road to the town of Coroico. There is a new paved road in The beginning and faster.
    They left this road for some small towns and for tourism. Its still a very eery road. I remember we use to still go tru it in 1997 until they opened the new road
    But to go to South Yungas to Chulumani, the road remains the same, but not so scary as this one. My family brought land in South Yungas. It was quite a adventure on that land. We even discovered a ancient stone inca road tru it!
    Yes its true, when Foreigners go to Bolivia they fall in love and stay. We knew a French man who stayed in South Yungas and never left, he even said he hopes to find a nice sweet Cholita to marry. He was very a funny guy. Yes please go to Bolivia and help preserve its beauty! You can pick the cold or hot weather in one country.
