Pando is a department of Bolivia, with an area of 63,827 km², adjoining the border with Brazil. Population (2005 census) 66,689. Its capital is the city of Cobija. The department, which was named after former president Jose Manuel Pando (1899-1905), is divided in 5 provinces. Although Pando is rich in natural resources, the poverty level of its inhabitants is high, due largely to a lack of roads effectively linking the province to the rest of the country and the presence of tropical diseases typical of life in the Amazonian rain forest. The main economic activities are agriculture, timber and cattle. At an altitude of 280 meters above sea level in the northwestern jungle region, Pando is located in the rainiest part of Bolivia. Pando also has a hot climate, with temperatures commonly above 26 degrees Celsius (80 Fahrenheit).
