Introduction

The Sajama region of Bolivia's western highlands is an enormous cultural landscape, defined by its traditional architecture, environmental design and landscape construction, historical ecology, cultural memory, biodiversity, and indigenous peoples. Archaeological sites, shrines, chapels, and settlements are interconnected by a vast patterned network of ritual pathways or lines covering some 22,000 square kilometers of this high altitude landscape. Tierra Sajama attempts to record, map, describe, analyze, explain, protect, and promote the Sajama Lines and their associated structures.
