Access to the Sea
Bolivia lost its access to the sea in the War of
the Pacific, which was fought from 1879 to 1883.
Since that time, the country has remained land-locked,
necessitating travel through Chile, to the port of Antofogasto on the Pacific Coast.
Bolivia has never renounced its struggle to
regain its seaport. There
are yearly
parades and demonstrations in Bolivia re-asserting the country’s right to ocean
access.
The issue is fully
explored in the book United States and the Bolivian Seacoast (Estados Unidos
y el Mar Boliviano) by Jorge Gumucio Granier, PhD.
