N2 - Based on the great scientific potential of experiments that can be done near Earth's Equator, a preliminary study of sites in the Andean region is presented. In particular, non-accelerator high-energy physics, astrophysics, cosmic-ray physics, radio-astronomy and geophysics have been identified as areas in which research can be done. The development of a laboratory in the region is reommended in order to do this type of research. The existence of a general-purpose facility near the Earth's Equator will open up a window of great potential and will serve as catalyst for scientific development of the region.
