Prometeo Scholarship in Tumbaco

"After 4 month in Ambato, I continued my research in the city of Tumbaco in Agrocalidad , a governmental institution to control the quality of agricultural products. I was helping to establish methods for quick and reliable identification of plant pathogens in major ecuadorian crop plants. Tumbaco is located in the Tumbaco valley which lies to the east of Quito. Since the altitude is lower than in Quito the weather is warmer than in Quito. Agrocalidad lies close to the center of Tumbaco in an area called "La Granja". Labs and offices are surrounded from ecuadorian fruit trees . Just a wonderful place to work .
