Today we head toward Paru Paru, a village located in the heart of the Potato Park. Upon our arrival we will be welcomed by different members of the community with whom we will spend the morning. We will learn with them about the history of the Andean potato as a whole. We will see the role it plays in daily Andean life and learn more about the different potato varieties, current scientific research related to them, production techniques, the product’s adaptation to climate change, etc.
