Bolivia is a land-locked country in South America, with one-third of the country consisting of the Andes mountains. The primary ethnic groups in Bolivia consist of indigenous groups (like the Aymara, Quechua, and Guaraní), Mestizos (or those of mixed ethnicity), and those of Spanish-European descent, and 36 indigenous languages are named as official Bolivian languages along with Spanish. Bolivia is known for its wildlife and expansive salt flats.
