The link is of Bolivian chilli types with location data. For info if someone travels there.

I hope it works.

This is really interesting, I wish I could read in Spanish to understand more of the descriptions, but I was expecting mostly the common domesticated species, and found that it was more the 'wilder' species like eximium, etc. that are found in the description. I've read comments before about the chiles of Bolivia, and how they tend to consume the most diverse array of chiles (species-wise) compared to any other country.

I am sooo lazy to translste stuff. Maybe one day.
 
A couple of these look pretty interesting as a starting point, but there's no info on pungency, just native habitat, growth habit, and pod characteristics. The Colorado Dulce is likely sweet, but still looks like a fun plant. Anyone know if that Locotito is spicy?

I know nothing more than what is written here. It has the location data, so one could go and loo for it.

The likelihood is low that I can get into Bolivia soon, but the info is still interesting. I'll have to keep an eye out for US sources of seeds on some of these.

I would love to go to Bolivia again. The southern border of Bolivia is about 700 miles from our farm. It is in our plans to travel that way some time and for sure this time I will gather as many varieties of seeds as I can. Bolivia has a huge variety of Capsicums. Frienly people in the rural areas
Markets and small farms are good places to visit. We do not even need to use a padport for going there.

I would like to get some other seeds too. The Coca tree seeds 100% for sure.
