About Pilot
 

Bolivia is a country of unique qualities, unpredicatable and extreme. Reaching from the depths of the Amazon to the highest city in the world, Bolivia spans such a scale of diversity in its landscape, culture and climate that visitors are constantly confronted with new challenges and awe inspiring experiences. In only a matter of hours, you are able to travel from the lure of pink dolphins and piranaha fish, in the balmy heat of the Yungas, to the alpacas and llamas, in the cold chill of the Antiplano.
Although economically, Bolivia is the poorest country in South America, it stands out from its neighbours as perhaps the country richest in its range of natural qualities and its untold secrets. It is this secrecy that is perhaps the strongest attraction to Bolivia for the independant traveller.

Supporting the Bolivian Economy by Matthew Samuel
An unexpectedly dangerous encounter with Bolivian 'entrepeneurs'.

The Witches' Market by Thomas Carroll
" The untidy place looks like something out of a horror movie. Mounted animal heads glare at me with unseeing eyes, feathers and potions adorn the tables, herbs spill from their dirty bags onto the wooden floor..."

Fracas in La Paz by Gregory Wesson
When Gregory mistakenly hears fireworks he ends up caught up in civil unrest. "Maybe the Bolivians are more practiced at it, but I wonder what Toronto would be like four hours after tanks were called in to crush an armed rebellion."
