  • Quebrada de Humahuaca, Tilcara. Armando Alvarez of Cultura Pirca ONG, a organisation promoting the development of Andean Qolla indians communities. In many villages in the Argentinian Altiplano Cultura Pirca has installed an 8-square-meter Scheffler reflector which are used as a public installation for baking bread saving precious firewood.
