............................

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 World famous Salt Lakes in Bolivia.

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.


Latest news

The Wilderness and Environmental Medicine Journal will publish the abstracts of this symposium on-line with free public access.

Please note OCT 12, 2014 has been set as Presidential election day in Bolivia. No transportation will be available for regular use. If you plan to travel please check with your airline. A special Taxi to transport you to the airport (if the flight is in normal schedule) can be arranged.
