Tiahuanacu ruins 4000 m
Chacaltaya at 5230 m
and the Salt Lakes 3656 m


You will learn of “life at high altitude” in different environments.
And this time we are going to visit the famous Salt Lakes at 3656 m in the South of Bolivia (shown above).

You will be completely impressed by the beauty of Bolivia and the hypoxic environment that is our “normal” everyday life.

During the V Chronic Hypoxia Symposium, we will have a meeting of the

International Society of Chronic Hypoxia.

It was created during the II Chronic Hypoxia Symposium


We will discuss about Life in Extreme Hypoxia and the

Tolerance to Hypoxia Formula.

Is it true that the paradox of going higher renders more tolerance to hypoxia?

Great scientists will join us in the analysis of these and other fascinating topics, so don’t loose the chance

We are going to celebrate 44 years of scientific production in high altitude research..
