For those of you that missed the successful 1st and 2nd Symposiums in 2005 and 2008 and those that want to come back, once more, we are proud to invite you to a friendly ¨itinerant¨ and relaxed scientific and culture gathering in Bolivia with visits to different cities and conferences that will begin in the city of La Paz, the World Capital of Hypoxia and the Shrine of Hypoxia Scientists, and continue in Tiahuanacu (Pre-Inca ruins), the Titicaca Lake (The highest navigable lake in the world), Chacaltaya and finally the Rurrenabaque The tropical paradise in Bolivia.

Please note that we were originally planing on going to the Salt Lakes, but we have been informed the landing field is in construction, and will be unavailable for a while. However if anyone is interested in going anyway, it can be done by train and/or bus and this can be arranged. But your need 3 extra days.

The conferences take place in different locations so that the attendees will be able to appreciate life at high altitude and pose themselves a new focus of chronic hypoxia. Different disciplines apparently not related to chronic hypoxia can find outstanding stimulus and innovative concepts in these unique chronic hypoxia environments.
