The geography of Bolivia includes the Eastern Andes Mountain Range (also called the Cordillera Oriental) which bisects Bolivia roughly from north to south. To the east of that mountain chain are lowland plains of the Amazon Basin , and to the west is the Altiplano which is a highland plateau where Lake Titicaca is located.
The plateau is located at the latitude of the widest part of the north–south-trending Andes.
