Welcome Letter
Dear Colleagues:
On behalf of the Committee that is organizing the XIII Pan-American
Congress of Neurology, I extend to you the most cordial welcome to
our country Bolivia, where you will be able to participate in the latest
advances of Neurology in our region.
This event offers you a program developed by experts of recognized
international trajectory, with the assistance of a brilliant scientific
committee. It therefore provides an excellent opportunity for continued education in all fields of
Neurology.
Furthermore, it is an honor and a privilege to invite you to get to know Bolivia, a country that
offers an exotic multicultural ambience in a splendid, readily accessible geographic location. In
Bolivia you can visit the city of Potosi, cultural patrimony of humanity, or the Uyuni salt flats, the
largest salt surface in the world, the Jesuit Missions of the Bolivian Amazonian region, or the
ecological reserves distributed in the high plateau, valleys and tropical lands.
The city of La Paz, site of this event, has a charm of its own that you will never forget.
Economically speaking, it is the cheapest capital in the Americas, and the distance from the
hotels to the convention center are short. From the city you can take an easy 90 minute ride to
the millenary ruins of Tiahuanacu, or to the Titicaca Lake, ascend to snow covered Huayna
Potosi or to Illimani, descend to Yungas or arrive to the ecological reserves of Madidi.
Bolivia waits for you in 2012,
Dr. Juan Carlos Durán Quiroz
President
