English version


It is nothing new to say that Bolivian Express has changed, or rather, has made a change of direction with the arrival of the Covid 19 pandemic. Until the end of 2019, Bolivian Express had the objective of nourishing a free circulation monthly magazine with cultural pieces, this to expand the mystique that surrounds this great country; Bolivia.

With much success, BX recruits a significant number of students who put together endless words to tell hidden stories, and the most interesting ones that nourish our country day by day. With the arrival of the new normality and with the world at a standstill, Bolivian Express had to adjust to the new reality. The new reality produced the creation of a traveler production company to materialize content from every point of the country. The impact of the ideas to start the videographic and photographic exploration of Bolivia was such that there was no hesitation from several brands based in Bolivia being interested in this exploration of the destinations that were called to be explored, and documented.

Since the pandemic arrived in Bolivia, exactly 2 years ago, Bolivian Express has managed to travel throughout Bolivia, from the deepest and most humid north of the country, to the last corner of the south. Touring all its cities and portraying people and moments that have been written in the pages of history. Here, in this edition, we show some of the most important moments of the aforementioned tours. Of course, to finish the tale of everything that was navigated, it would be necessary to dedicate many more pages to the collection of edited photographs. Here is the first collection.

No es una novedad decir que Bolivian Express ha cambiado, o mejor dicho, ha hecho un giro de timón con la llegada de la pandemia Covid 19. Hasta finales de 2019, Bolivian Express tenía como objetivo alimentar una revista mensual de circulación gratuita con piezas culturales e investigativas para nutrir la mística que rodea a este gran país Bolivia.

Se logró, con mucho éxito, reclutar a una importante cantidad de estudiantes que juntaron un sinfín de palabras para contar historias ocultas, y de lo más interesantes que nutren día a día a nuestro país. Con la llegada de la nueva normalidad y con el mundo parado, Bolivian Express tuvo que acomodarse a la nueva realidad. La nueva realidad produjo la creación de una productora de viajes para materializar contenido desde cada punto del país.

Fue tal el impacto de las ideas para iniciar la exploración videográfica y fotográfica de Bolivia, que no faltó el tiempo para que varias marcas interesadas en esta exploración, se sumarán a la navegación terrestre (y acuática) de los destinos que se llamaban a ser explorados y documentados. Desde que la pandemia llegó a Bolivia, hace 2 años exactamente, Bolivian Express ha logrado recorrer toda Bolivia, desde lo más profundo y húmedo del norte del país, hasta el último rincón del sur. Recorriendo todas sus ciudades y retratando personas y momentos que se han escrito en las páginas de la historia. Aquí, en esta edición, mostramos algunos de los momentos más importantes de los recorridos mencionados.

Claro, que para terminar de contar todo lo navegado, habría que dedicar muchas más páginas a la colección de fotografías editadas. Aquí está la primera colección.
