Presentation on the topic: “Latin American countries”
Startsova Tatyana, 10th grade student, GBOU secondary school No. 1465 Teacher: Svetlana Anatolyevna Popova
Information about the state: Bolivia is a state in the central part of South America. It borders on the north and northeast with Brazil, on the southeast with Paraguay, on the south with Argentina, on the southwest and west with Peru and Chile. Area 1098.6 thousand km2. Population 4.8 million people. Landlocked. The capital according to the constitution is Sucre, in fact it is La Paz. Flag of Bolivia:
Wonders of the World. Bolivia is home to many Wonders of the World. There are both cultural and natural ones. 6 of them are included in the UNESCO World Heritage List: City of Potosi Jesuit Mission in Chiquitos City of Sucre Fort Samaipata Ancient ruins of Tiwanaku Noel Kempff Mercado National Park
City of Potosi A long time ago, the Incas knew that in the depths of this mountain, whose height is 4800 meters, there are large reserves of silver, but people did not mine them. But the conquistadors from Spain, attracted by stories about fabulous reserves of silver, hurried to the places indicated to them.
The mountain abounding in silver was later named Cerro Rico, which means “Rich Mountain.” Very quickly, at the foot of this mountain, the city of Potosi, the highest city in the world, grew out of the ground.
Jesuit Missions in Chiquitos Jesuit Missions in Chiquitos - a cultural and historical monument consisting of six settlements: San Javier, San Rafael de Velasco, San José de Chiquitos, Concepción, San Miguel de Velasco, Santa Anna de Velasco
It is known for its unique eclecticism of European and Indian cultures. The monument consists of six cities - former missionary centers founded by the Jesuits to spread Catholicism in South America.
City of Sucre. Many ecclesiastical structures remain here, such as the churches of San Lazaro, San Francisco and Santo Domingo, which show a fusion of local architectural traditions with architectural styles imported from Europe. The city of Sucre, the first capital of Bolivia, was built by the Spaniards in the first half of the 16th century.
Samaipata Fort. Fort Samaipata is a unique testimony to pre-Hispanic traditions and beliefs and has no parallel in the Americas. This is a reddish sandstone mountain, 250 meters long and 60 meters wide. Representatives of pre-Columbian culture carved images of feathers of birds, jaguars, and snakes on the stone surface. Stairs and square and triangular benches are carved into the thickness of the mountain.
Ancient ruins of Tiwanaku. The ancient ruins of Tiwanaku in Bolivia are a unique mystery of history, still inexplicable. The ancient ruins are located near the eastern shore of Lake Titicaca. The settlement of Tiwanaku dates back to 1500 BC and was the center of the Pukina state. The ancient ruins hide a lot of mysteries and are unique in their location. Objects are precisely constructed according to the orientation of the starry sky. The largest blocks at Tiwanaku weigh 400 tons, compared to the largest blocks at Giza, which weigh 200 tons.
The Pyramid of Akapana is the main attraction of Bolivia, inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage List in 2000. As "evidence of the power of the empire, which played a major role in the progress of the civilization of pre-Columbian America"
Noel Kempf Mercado National Park. Noel Kempf Mercado is the most beautiful and isolated nature reserve in Bolivia. It is here that the plateau praised by Conan Doyle in his “The Lost World” is hidden - the Huanchaca Plateau, rising 500 meters above the tropical forest
Noel Kempf Mercado National Park. . The park has many rainbow waterfalls, orchid “bays” and a maximum concentration of rare fauna: there are even pink freshwater dolphins. The endless list of the park's inhabitants includes tapirs, howler monkeys, armadillos, as well as 620 species of birds and a whole army of reptiles - including the black-tailed monkey.
