Location

NAVE is located at Villa Juliana, Guayllabamba - Ecuador.

From Kichwa Wayllapampa meaning 'green plain'; it's a sparsely populated valley just 29 km away from Quito, situated at 2140m above sea level. Its dry/subtropical weather allows for uninterrupted agricultural production since pre-Incaic time. Throughout history its advantageous geographical location has been utilized as a strategic bottle neck entry from the northern highlands into Quito, first with Inca conquest campaigns against local tribes (Cochasquies, Caranquis, Cayambis); then with liberation campaigns in charge of Bolivar and Sucre against Spanish rule early in the 19th century.
