Laram Quta (Sud Yungas)

Laram Quta is a community located in the Sud Yungas province of the La Paz Department in Bolivia. It is situated within the Andes mountain range and characterized by a subtropical climate due to its location in the Yungas region. The Yungas is known for its lush vegetation, cloud forests, and agricultural production, particularly of coca, coffee, and fruits. Laram Quta, like other communities in the Sud Yungas, is primarily populated by indigenous people, often Aymara or Quechua speakers, who rely on agriculture as their main source of livelihood. The community is also influenced by the cultural traditions and practices prevalent in the broader Andean region. Access to Laram Quta can be challenging due to the mountainous terrain, relying on winding roads and sometimes requiring significant travel time from larger urban centers like La Paz.
