History & Geography
olivia is a landlocked country, bordering Brazil, Paraguay, Argentina, Chile and Peru. The west half of the country is dominated by the huge Andes mountains, with steep slopes and snow-capped peaks. Sandwiched between the Andes mountain chains is the Altiplano, where almost half the population lives. In the east and north of the country the land flattens into a lowland area known as the Oriente. This region is made up of open grasslands, wetlands and dense forests, including the world’s largest rainforest, the Amazon. Today Bolivia is home to nearly 11 million people, and has 37 official languages and two capital cities La Paz and Sucre.

History
T
he earliest known ancient civilization in Bolivia was the Tiwanakan culture which was around 2000 BC and was located south of Lake Titicaca. They built a great city called Tiwanaku.
T
housands of years later, in the 15 century, the Incan Empire entered into Boliva. They were the dominant culture until the Spanish arrived in 1525. The Bolivians lived under Spanish rule for almost 300 years, however, in 1809 they declared their independence. They fought the Spanish for another 16 years until they became the Republic of Bolivia on August 6, 1825. The country was named after the great liberator and general Simon Bolivar.
B
olivia, however, was not a strong or wealthy country. Although there were periods where silver or tin did well as exports, in general, their government was unstable and weak for years to come. In the late 1800’s they fought the War of the Pacific against Chile. They lost the war and also their coastland. Now Bolivia was landlocked with no ocean access.
T
he 1900s have been filled with revolution and turmoil for the country of Bolivia. There have been many changes in leadership, the type of governments, attempts at democracy, and military coups over the last 50 years.

La Paz
L
a Paz was founded on 20 October 1548, by the Spanish conquistador Alonso de Mendoza, at the site of the Inca settlement of Laja. The name of the city was originally Nuestra Señora de La Paz in commemoration of the restoration of peace following the insurrection of Gonzalo Pizarro and fellow conquistadors against the first viceroy of Peru. Since its founding, the city was the site of numerous revolts. In 1781, the indigenous leader Túpac Katari laid siege to the city for a total of six months, but was finally defeated. On 16 July 1809, the Bolivian patriot Pedro Domingo Murillo ignited a revolution for independence, marking the beginning of the Spanish American Wars of Independence, which gained the freedom of South American states in 1821. With an estimated 816,044 residents, La Paz is the third-most populous city in Bolivia.

Under the leadership of designer and painter Knorke Leaf, the neighbourhood of Chualluma has been transformed into a picturesque setting that illuminates the landscape of La Paz today. Bannisters and stairs were also brought to Chualluma for its residents, who face the steep climb towards the altiplano from the lower, central areas of La Paz everyday.

C
retaceous Period, about 68 million years ago, an ocean covered the entire area, extending from the Southern Atlantic coast, and covering portions of Argentina and the area of Bolivia now known as the Valley of Potosí. The Cretaceous Period was a time of temperate climate with periods of flooding. During this time, the last of the giant long-necked dinosaurs, known as the titanosaurs, roamed the plains, leaving their tracks in the soft clay soil now known as Cal Orck’o. At the time, North and South America were joined by a natural bridge and species typical to North America gradually made their way south.
L
ater, during the Tertiary Period, the Andes Mountains began to form due to tectonic movement, changing the landscape radically, and uplifting the central valley of Bolivia (thus the cliff and the tracks are now vertical). The Andes rose so high that the ocean was forever left behind. This is how Cal Orck’o was formed, and some of the most important, extensive and complete fossil tracks were left behind.
