<p><strong>UNE PETITE VILLE TYPIQUE DE L&#8217;EST BOLIVIEN</strong></p>
<p>La petite ville de San Ignacio de Mojos était, au temps de la colonisation, une mission jésuite. Les missionaires y ont bâti une place magnifique, qui demeure le véritable poumon de la ville.</p>
<p>A part cela, on remarque les égoûts à ciel ouvert les long des rues, où les canards en quête de nourriture aiment prendre un bain. </p>
<p> Certains disent que les anacondas, ces serpents géants d&#8217;Amérique du sud, y trouvent refuge à la nuit tombée&#8230;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>One usually thinks of Bolivia as an Andean country, where most Quichua and Aymara women wear a colorful traditional outfit and a tall rounded hat. Where men chew coca leaves. Where a poncho is more than necessary to protect oneself from the biting cold. Well, that&#8217;s not completely accurate. </p>
<p><em>Cuando pensamos en Bolivia, nos imaginamos generalmente un país andino donde la mayoria de las mujeres kichwa y aymara se visten con ropa tradicional de muchos colores y con un sombrero hongo. Donde los hombres mastican hojas de coca. Y donde el poncho es casi obligatorio para protegerse del frio.Pero, toda Bolivia no es asi.</em></p>

<p>Like almost like any other andean country (Ecuador and Peru), Bolivia is also an Amazonian country, and the contrast between both regions is striking. The weather is humid, the vegetation luxuriant and I found people there to be nicer and more laid back than the inhabitants of the Andes. Would the latter being tired of the crowds of gringos constantly roaming the Andes- and skipping the eastern Amazon region?</p>
<p><em>De hecho, de igual manera al Ecuador y al Peru, ¡Bolivia es un país amazónico también! Y es que el contraste entre la región andina y la región amazónica es llamativo. El clima es húmedo, la vegetación exuberante y la gente me pareció mucho más agradable y tranquilla que en la parte andina del país. ¿Sería que la gente de la cordillera está harta de la muchedumbre gringa que llega en La Paz, y que no toma tiempo para visitar el este amazónico del país?</em></p>

<p>As for me, as I entered the Amazon region, spent hours in 4&#215;4 shuttles on dusty roads among tall trees, farms and herds, suffered from the heat and excessive sweating, saw that everyone there wore a shirt, a pair of jeans and flip flops and traveled by motorbike, I realized that I was in a  whole different country, a totally different Bolivia whose existence I did not even suspect. And that Bolivia was looking just like the Brazil I had imagined, and which would be my ultimate destination.</p>
<p><em>En cuanto a mi experiencia propia&#8230; Al penetrar en la selva boliviana pasando horas en un 4&#215;4 en carreteras con <em>full</em> polvo y entre arbóles grandes, fincas y vacadas, sufriendo del calor y de sudación excesiva, observando que todo el mundo se viste con una camiseta, jeans y sandalias y viaja en motocicleta, me di cuenta de que estaba en otro país, en una Bolivia totalmente diferente&#8230; cuya existencia aún no sabía yo. Y esta Bolivia era tal como me había imaginado mis primeros pasos en el Brasil, ultima etapa de mi viaje.</em></p>

<p><strong>L&#8217;AMAZONIE BOLIVIENNE</strong></p>
<p>Quand on pense à la Bolivie, on s&#8217;imagine généralement un pays andin où la plupart des femmes Quechuas et Aymaras portent les vêtements colorés traditionnels et le chapeau melon presque haut de forme. Où les hommes mâchent des feuilles de coca. Et où le poncho est de rigueur pour se protéger du froid mordant. </p>
<p>Ce n&#8217;est pas faux&#8230; mais pas complètement vrai non plus.</p>
<p>Car la Bolivie est aussi un pays d&#8217;Amazonie! Comme la plupart des autres pays andins d&#8217;ailleurs (Equateur, Pérou). Le contraste entre les régions andine et amazonienne est saisissant. En amazonie, le climat est humide, la végétation luxuriante et les habitants m&#8217;ont semblés bien plus avenants et décontractés que dans les Andes. Les habitants des montagnes seraient-ils blasés des flots de touristes, qui ne prennent pas le temps de vistiter l&#8217;est amazonien du pays? </p>
<p>Quant à moi, alors que je pénétrais dans l&#8217;Amazonie bolivienne, passais des heures dans des navettes 4&#215;4 se faufilant sur des routes poussiéreuses entre des arbres immenses, des propriétés agricoles et des troupeaux de vaches, souffrais de la chaleur et de sudation excessive, voyais que tout le monde s&#8217;habille d&#8217;un tee-shirt, d&#8217;un jean et d&#8217;une paire de tongues et se déplaçe à moto, je pris conscience que j&#8217;étais dans un autre pays, dans une Bolivie totalement différente, et dont je ne soupçonnais même pas l&#8217;existence. Et cette Bolivie-là était exactement comme je m&#8217;étais imaginé le Brésil, ultime étape de mon voyage.</p>

<p><strong>ENTRE TERRE ET MER</strong></p>
<p>&#8230; <em>La Isla del Sol</em> (L&#8217;Ile du Soleil) sur le lac Titicac, berceau de la civilisation inca perché à 3800 mètres au dessus du niveau de la mer. Maisonettes en adobe, chemins rocailleux d&#8217;un rouge et blanc presque éblouissant, eaux turquoises et transparentes.</p>

<p>A family-size soda bottle on the dinner table is to Andean countries (Bolivia, Peru, Ecuador) what a bread-basket is to France: nearly essential. Among other carbonated drinks, Fanta, Sprite and some local fluorescent sodas. But one detaches itself from the bunch, it&#8217;s Coca-Cola&#8230; by the number of giant signs spread across Bolivia.</p>

<p><strong>LE REGNE DE COCA-COLA</strong></p>
<p>La bouteille de soda format familial sur la table du déjeuner dans les pays andins (Bolivie, Pérou et Equateur) c&#8217;est comme la corbeille de pain en France: presque indispensable. Au nombre des boissons gazeuses, Fanta, Sprite et sodas locaux couleur fluo. Mais s&#8217;il en est une qui se distingue des autres, par le nombre d&#8217;enseigne géantes qui parsèment la Bolivie, c&#8217;est bien Coca-Cola.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>(Version française plus bas)</p>
<p>About six o&#8217;clock in the morning. The sun rises over <em>El Salar de Uyuni</em>, a desert of salt of more than 10,000 km2. Shades of yellow and orange in front of me, shades of blue and pink behind me. </p>
<p>The sunlight reveals big cracks on the snow white ground. The result of minerals elbowing their way under the salt cap to breathe in the open. Such a task is easy in <em>Los Ojos del Salar</em> (The Eyes of El Salar), the true lungs of this desert, but a challenge anywhere else.</p>
<p>Underneath the eight cm thick white blanket, salt crystals. </p>
<p>As for the small Island of Pescado, it is inhabited by the tallest cactuses in bloom. </p>

<p><strong>DANS SES YEUX* (SW 7/8)</strong></p>
<p>Six heures du matin. Le soleil se lève sur <em>El Salar de Uyuni</em>, un désert de sel de plus de 10 000 km2. Camaïeu de jaune et d&#8217;orange au loin devant, camaieu de bleu et de rose au loin derrière. </p>
<p>La lumière du soleil révèle de grosses craquelures sur le sol couleur neige. Résultat des minéraux jouant des coudes sous la couche de sel pour respirer à l&#8217;air libre. Ce challenge est beaucoup plus facile à relever dans <em>Los Ojos del Salar</em> (Les Yeux du Salar), véritables poumons de ce désert.</p>
<p>Sous la couverture blanche épaisse de huit centimètres, des cristaux de sel.</p>
<p>La petite île du Pescado elle, est habitée par les plus grands des cactus, en fleurs.</p>
<p>*<em><strong>El Secreto de Sus Ojos</strong>, Argentinian movie. Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film</em></p>

<p>The southwest of Bolivia reveals many secrets. An ocean of corals named <em>El Ejercito Perdido</em> (The Lost Army) lies where there was a sea, thousands of years ago. To see this army fighting, it really looks like coral soldiers are falling under the enemy&#8217;s bayonet. Rock formations looking like cactuses. Moonlike caves. Boiling geysers.</p>

<p><strong>MYSTERES DE LA NATURE (SW 6/8)</strong></p>
<p>Le sud-ouest de la Bolivie recèle de mille et un secrets. Un océan de coraux baptisé <em> El Ejercito Perdido</em> (L&#8217;Armée Perdue) gît là où reposait une mer il y a quelques milliers d&#8217;années. A la voir de profil, on dirait vraiment des soldats basculant en arrière sous les coups des baïonnettes ennemies. Formations rocheuses en forme de cactus. Grottes lunaires. Geysers bouillonnants.</p>
