Abstract: Abstract The Andean countries (Bolivia, Chile, Colombia, Ecuador, Peru, and Venezuela) constitute a special geographic and geopolitical environment in South America because of their distinctive location along the Andes mountain range. The Andean nations share a long, ethnical and cultural tradition that, dates back to pre-Columbian Inca and Aymara civilizations.1 Politically, that tradition can be traced back to military alliances during the wars of independence against the Spanish colonial regime led by Bolívar and San Martin in the early nineteenth century.
