Bolivia operates on Bolivia Time (BOT) year-round, which is 4 hours behind Coordinated Universal Time (UTC-4). Bolivia does not observe daylight saving time, so the time remains consistent throughout the year.
All of Bolivia follows the same timezone. Major cities including La Paz (seat of government), Sucre (constitutional capital), Santa Cruz, Cochabamba, and El Alto all observe BOT. Bolivia shares the same timezone as Venezuela, Guyana, and Chile during winter.
Bolivia is one of two landlocked countries in South America. La Paz, at 3,640 meters above sea level, is the highest capital city in the world. Bolivia is home to the Salar de Uyuni, the world's largest salt flat, which covers over 10,000 square kilometers and creates a stunning mirror effect during the rainy season.
