Abstract

The Altiplano is an area that presents a process of desertification that has remained constant beyond climatic fluctuations since the late Pleistocene and Pleistocene-Holocene transition. Despite these difficult details for the settlement of populations and socioeconomic development, societies have been implemented with varying degrees of complexity. These communities have managed their natural environment since time immemorial in various ways: fragile, stochastic, resilient or adaptive manner.
