This zone has tall, highly branched quinoas with a long vegetative period, large leaves typical of chenopods, bright and intense colours, large and loose panicles, usually amarantiform (loose), and small grains. They are resistant to mildew and excessive moisture, and can even grow in flooded soils. Quinoa plantings in this zone are associated with other plants such as maize, cassava, fruit trees and potatoes. The plants grow at altitudes between 800 and 1800 m that have an annual rainfall of over 1500 mm, and are heat and evapotranspiration resistant.

Example of landraces include: Tupiza, A. Marangani in the Yungas of Bolivia, and Sandia, Puno, Ambo-Huánuco, Lares-Cusco, Marcapata, Cusco in Peru.
