In 1932, the Chaco War broke out between Bolivia and Paraguay for oil resources in the North Chaco region. Bolivia was defeated and lost a large area of territory.

The people's armed uprising broke out in April 1952, and Paz Estenssoro, leader of the nationalist revolutionary movement, became president. Since then, there have been frequent military coups and long-term political instability. In October 1983, a modern bourgeois democracy with South American characteristics was restored.

On December 18, 2005, the presidential election was held. Aymara Indian, Evo Morales, leader of the Bolivian socialist movement, won the election with 53.75% of the vote and took office on January 22, 2006. He became the country's first Native American president and Bolivia's first left-wing president. The Bolivian State, which is based on progressive community socialism (that is, Indian socialism), has begun to build the seat of government and parliament, the largest city and political, economic and cultural center in the country, with a population of 2.7416 million. The city center is 3660 meters above sea level, the highest in the world.

The capital La Paz

The capital La Paz

A high seat of government. La Paz was founded in 1548 and means "city of peace" in Spanish. [6]

Sucre.

The legal capital, the seat of the Supreme Court, with a population of 284000, 2790 meters above sea level. Founded in 1538, the city was formerly known as Chuquisaka. In 1809, the first uprising against Spanish rule broke out in South America. Bolivia declared its independence here in 1825 and became the capital in 1826. In 1839, it was renamed Sucre in honor of the second president of Bolivia, General Antonio Jos é Sucre. In 1898, the central government, presidential palace and parliamentary hall were moved to Russ, and the Supreme Court stayed in Sucre. Sucre has been listed on the UNESCO list of cultural heritage of mankind. [5]

Santa Cruz

Founded in 1561 with a population of 2.7762 million, it is a new industrial and commercial city, the second largest economic and cultural center in the country, and the capital of Santa Cruz province. Located in the eastern plain, 437 meters above sea level, with an annual average temperature of 23.8

Bolivia is 1/3 of the Andean mountains, rugged terrain, mainly road transport, accounting for more than 85% of transportation. The main railway and road networks are concentrated in the west, and remote areas rely on air communication. But road coverage is the lowest in South America. And there is also the Ronggas Highway, the world's first insurance road known as the "road of death". There is no developed economy here, and it is one of the poorest countries in South America. However, with its beautiful lake scenery and unique scenery of the Andes, the Uyuni Salt Lake, known as the Mirror of the Sky, is a wonder of the world.

We know that Arabica coffee cannot be grown in cold places above 2000 meters above sea level. if the altitude is too high, coffee trees will frost because the temperature is too low. So Bolivian coffee is mainly grown in the Yungas region northeast of La Paz. It borders the Amazon basin and is about 1500-2500 meters above sea level with an average annual temperature of about 10-15 ℃. Therefore, it ensures the suitable temperature for the growth of coffee and protects the coffee plant from frost. In addition, the Bolivian coffee growing area has a distinct dry and wet season and fertile soil, which is a paradise for the development of boutique coffee. Bolivian coffee is usually picked by hand and is mostly processed by washing.

The early Bolivian coffee was of low quality and the market was very poor. Usually the picked coffee fruit is bumped all the way to the processing plant after a simple peeling treatment. Due to the imperfect infrastructure, the traffic is underdeveloped. Coffee farmers have to overcome the rugged mountain road and transport the beans to the higher altitude area of La Paz for washing. If the coffee fruit is not delivered to the processing plant in time, it is easy to ferment and rot on the wet mountain road. As a result, the coffee of good quality has been destroyed.

Bolivia has made a lot of efforts to improve the quality of coffee, stimulate the enthusiasm of coffee farmers and make coffee farmers have a deeper understanding of fine coffee. After the introduction of the COE competition, in the first COE competition held in 2004, there were 13 boutique bean cups with a total score of more than 84 points, and the champion bean score was as high as 90.44 points. In addition, in order to solve the problem of untimely post-processing, a washing treatment plant has also been built in Yanggas area. Let the freshly picked coffee be post-processed as soon as possible to prevent the decline in quality caused by transportation. Coffee farmers are also constantly refining their planting techniques. In short, Bolivia has finally completed a magnificent turn in quality through its own efforts in all aspects.
