The culture of Bolivia is a remarkable blend of tradition and modernity. Music, dance, literature, visual arts and folk crafts intertwine here in a colourful mosaic that sets this country apart in the region. While visiting Bolivia, take part in local festivals, visit art galleries and craft shops. Music plays a key role in daily life — from traditional rhythms to a contemporary scene that attracts artists from around the world. Traditional crafts — weaving, pottery, sculpture — remain very much alive. In La Paz / Sucre and other cities you can find workshops where masters pass on their art from generation to generation. Handicrafts make the best souvenirs from your trip.
