The Latin American Giant Observatory (LAGO) consists of a network of water Cherenkov detectors (WCDs) installed in the Latin American region at various latitudes, from Sierra Negra in Mexico ,and altitudes from Lima, Peru at 20 m a.s.l. to Chacaltaya, Bolivia at 5500 m a.s.l. to the Antarctic Penins...
