Encyclopedia Article
Altiplano, high plateau region, in the Andes, south-western Bolivia and southern Peru. It comprises a series of intermontane basins located at an altitude of about 3,650 m (12,000 ft) between the eastern and western cordilleras, or ranges, of the Andes. Although it has a cold, dry, and windy climate, it is a heavily populated region. Potatoes and barley are important crops, and llamas are kept. Lakes Titicaca and Poopó are located in the Altiplano.
