Abstract

This paper describes four high altitude sites in southern Peru that were visited, in March 2019, by members of the SGSO Alliance (currently the SWGO Collaboration). The sites are located above 4000 m.a.s.l. with access to water resources and are located between 1 to 4 hours drive from the closest airport. Peruvian authorities, local populations and universities offer support and encourage international collaborations to consider these sites for Astroparticle Observatories.

Bibliographical note

Funding Information:
Peru offers a range of possibilities for high altitude sites and there are possibilities for funding from the mining tax. Below is a summary of the Peruvian sites that were visited by members of the SGSO Alliance, a community of scientists that has recently been given rise to the SWGO collaboration [6].
