    • About Ben’s Backpacking Travel Blog

      The main aim of this travel blog is to share travel experiences and hopefully inspire others to travel. When researching my own travels I always focus on the photos and with that in mind I've tried to place an emphasis on travel photos of my favourite destinations. I've also tried to focus on those places to visit and things to do that are slightly off the beaten track of the normal backpacking trip.

      My blog covers past experiences backpacking around the world and my current travels where so far I've been lucky enough to travel in the South Pacific, Australasia, South East Asia, Europe, North America and South America.

It has many world class attractions to see and incredible scenery. Bolivia has a rich culture born from ancient civilisations.

    Bolivia has the highest everything - Highlights include lake Titicaca, the highest navigatable lake, La Paz, the highest capital city, potosi, the highest city in the would and the most dangerous world in the road.
