The eastern Andean slopes with their constantly humid climate and well-drained soils are a centre of extremely high diversity forming a hot spot for epiphytic communities on trees and micro-reliefs such as Araceae, Bromeliaceae, Piperaceae, Orquideas, Setaria sphacelata, among other species. Similarly the ingenious and harmonious interaction of education and research forms the basis of the breeding ground for student learning and scholarly activities, enhancing university excellence.
