Santa Cruz (437m/1,434ft) is the best place to start an educational study tour in Bolivia - it lies in the eastern lowlands and allows a gradual acclimatisation to increasingly high altitude while experiencing student-centered learning activities and sites to the west en route to La Paz (over 3,000m/10,000ft) higher up. Classrooms Without Walls in Bolivia! Calling higher education scholars — our graduate or postgraduate educational study programme in Bolivia involves learning and studying for academic or professional degrees. Bolivia Naturally is one of few local companies who offer a comprehensive Bolivia educational study programme for universities, colleges and schools. Your outdoor classroom will be the enchanting and inspirational mountains, forests, lakes, rivers and waterfalls, montane grasslands and deserts of Bolivia. Through lectures, discussions and field study, your students will gain an understanding and greater appreciation of ecology, communities and threats to sustainability. Why study in Bolivia? Broaden your horizons! Isolated in the heart of South America, Bolivia evolved a composition of native plants and animals unlike anywhere else in the world. It provides perfect examples for students to study the patterns, processes and conflicts that occur in the natural environment. Bolivia exhibits a myriad of easily accessible habitats and landscapes that have experienced human impact for a relatively short period of time. As a destination for young travellers, Bolivia is a safe and friendly country. Study the ecology of a diverse range of communities and specific resource management issues in various areas of rural Bolivia in central South America. Research the background information, current issues, opinions of local people and seek specialist advice on your chosen topic. We work closely with educators to provide comprehensive study tours that meet your specific pedagogical objectives and include cultural highlights of the country at a reasonable price. Encourage deeper personal and intellectual growth, strengthen global competency, and give your students a treasure trove of unforgettable memories to call upon for years to come. WHERE? • SANTA CRUZ - Far from the altiplano in the huge eastern lowland plains of Bolivia is Santa Cruz de la Sierra, a city where the warmth of its people is only exceeded by the heat of its climate. Santa Cruz is rapidly becoming the principal gateway to Bolivia: it is the center of the country´s economic growth, has the best international airport in the country, and is at a low altitude – only 416 m. (1,350 ft) above sea level. The rapid economic development has not affected the colonial character of the old backstreets nor the famous good humor of the city's inhabitants. more information about this destination • COCHABAMBA - The city of Cochabamba (2,570m/8,414ft) lies in a 10 km-wide natural arena of rolling hills below snow-capped Cerro Tunari (5,180m/16,995ft). The dry and sunny climate is very pleasant and Cochabamba is known as the city of "Eternal Spring". The name itself is derived from the Quechua words Cocha, or lagoon, and Pampa, or plane. The population of 900,000 makes Cochabamba the third largest city in Bolivia. Great birding and wildlife viewing sites abound in this region, not least the national parks of Tunari, Toro-Toro and Carrasco. more information about this destination • LA PAZ - A city for both enriching visits and adventurous discoveries. Lose yourself in streets brimming with life, where neighbors, artisans and sorcerers rub elbows amidst the daily agitation of typical markets. La Paz's outskirts also offer an array of spectacular sites, such as eerie rock sculptures created from ancient erosion at the Valley of the Moon. Bolivia is a haven for outdoor enthusiasts and it is great to spend a few days in La Paz as the surrounding mountains, Lake Titicaca and Yungas rainforests are truly spectacular and mighty enticing. more information about this destination WHAT?
