摘要：The paper presents landscape values of the Middle Andes. The western Andes compose numerous inactive volcanic cones ranging over the 6500 m a.s.l. The Eastern Cordillera are covered by glaciers in many places and drained by rivers of the Amazon and La Plata drainage basins. The basins are covered by humid montane forests reaching an altitude over the 3000 m a.s.l.,where the ruins of Inca buildings remain. The landscape of the Altiplano (3600-4500 m a.s.l.) is predominated by vast endorheic plains covered by grass and scrub vegetation (puna). In the northern Altiplano,the Titicaca Lake is located. In the southern Altiplano,due to very little precipitation there are playas with salt crusts .Western belt of coast and foreland of the Andes occupies the Atacama Desert. The national parks were established in the terrains of high landscape and cultural values. Due to the poor infrastructure,tourism development is very low and incomparable to the degree of tourist attractions.
