La Paz - Tourists from around the world will be able to follow revolutionary paths in the jungle of south-eastern Bolivia. The so-called "Ruta del Che" will take those interested along the paths where Argentine-born revolutionary Ernesto "Che" Guevara fought his last battles against imperialism 40 years ago.
The route will allow visitors to visit the sites where Guevara fought the Bolivian army March-October 1967.
"Today one can not only visit the sites of the clashes to get close to guerrilla-related events, but also to enjoy the history, the nature and the culture of the original inhabitants of the land," Teofilo Baldiviezo Luna, one of the people in charge of the project, told Deutsche Presse-Agentur dpa.
Nowadays, some 40 people from around the globe visit La Higuera - where Guevara was executed on October 9, 1967 - everyday. Europeans are particularly interested, Baldiviezo noted.
To mark the fortieth anniversary of Guevara's death, many events are planned, especially in Vallegrande, where the remains of the renowned revolutionary remained buried clandestinely for years.
Numerous social movements, especially in Latin America, plan to gather for a so-called solidarity congress to honour Guevara and to express solidarity with communist Cuba.
