Quipaquipani Center.

Today I visited Quipaquipani 42 km outside La Paz on the Altiplano. A very different environment from Cochabamba. At 3,880 metres above sea level they often get frost at night and burning sun during the day. At the experimental farm and labs, they research the growing of Quinoa and Canohoa along with their pest and soils etc and the integration of forage crops which protect the soils, feed the llamas and create green fertiliser.
