Chakana is a development organisation focusing on the indigenous peoples of the Andes Mountains in Bolivia and Peru. Chakana's projects help these people to improve their living conditions in the harsh highlands, and to create economic and social opportunities. Respect for the indigenous cultures and traditions are integral to Chakana's approach. Chakana carries out projects in several communities in the highlands of Bolivia. They are all situated in the department of La Paz, the most western department of Bolivia, consisting for the greater part of highlands (Altiplano).
