Later it expanded and gave protection exclusive and delicate ecosystems and rare biotic species of Kipahulu Valley.  Of its 28,655 acres, 19,270 are wilderness.  The Hawaii Volcanoes National Park is located on the Island of Hawaii, 96 miles from Kailua-Kona and 30 miles from Hilo. The Park exhibits the results of 70 million years of volcanic activity, migration, and evolution. The park covers 230,000 acres and ranges from sea level to the summit of the earth's most colossal volcano, Mauna Loa at 13,677 feet. Kilauea, the world's most dynamic volcano, offers visitors views of dramatic volcanic landscapes. Over half of the park is selected wilderness and provides unusual hiking and camping opportunities. In acknowledgment of its outstanding natural ethics, Hawaii volcanoes National Park has been honored as an International Biosphere Reserve and a World Heritage Site.


Bolivia
Bolivia is a country that offers many different and unusual sites, attractions and trips.  There are tropical excursions,  mountain hikes,  city tours, and rain forest hikes among others.  Probably some of the most popular touristic locations are Lake Titicaca, Chacaltaya Mountain, Tiahuanaco , Copacabana, Island of the Sun, Island of the Moon, the Yungas, Oruro, Potosi, Sucre, and Madidi national park.  Most of these places are popular because of the beautiful sites there are to see, but are not always the most accommodating places, and consequently are not visited too often. Animals in Bolivia are a large attraction and Vicunas, Llamas, and Alpacas are very popular because of their wool, which is used to make beautiful textiles.  these textiles are extremely cheap compared to the ones that are exported to foreign countries. Other interesting sites include the Yungas trails, and the Amazon treks and camping excursions.Most of Bolivia is NOT mountain ranges, it actually happens to be tropics and subtropics.There are places as hot as Hawaii in Bolivia, for example Santa Cruz, Tarija, Cochabamba, and the Yungas.
