Altitudinal Zonation

Vertical Zonation of Agroecological Zones Tierra Caliente (Hot Land) – 0 – 1,000 m Hot all year round with tropical vegetation Bananas, citrus fruits, tropical rain forest in places Tierra Templada (Temperate Land) – 1,000 - 3,000 m Land of Eternal Spring Many temperate crops (corn was domesticated in this zone) Many major Latin American cities (Mexico City, Arequipa)

Tierra Fria (Cold Land) – 3,000 - 4,000 m Limited agriculture; potatoes, barley, quiñoa Altiplano of Peru/Bolivia Puna (Tundra) – 4,000 - 5,000 m Extensive grazing of cameloids (llamas, alpacas, vicuñas) Tierra Helada (Frozen Land) – 5,000 m + Glaciers, snow, and rock!
