General information
The series of "Coloquios Latinoamericanos de Álgebra" was originally organized by Orlando Villamayor and others from 1980 to 1994.In 2001, this series of mettings was restarted, with the XIV COLOQUIO LATINOAMERICANO DE ÁLGEBRA --La Falda, Sierras de Córdoba, Argentina--. The XV COLOQUIO LATINOAMERICANO DE ÁLGEBRA took place in Cocoyoc, México, in July 2003.
The main purposes of the "Coloquios Latinomericanos de Álgebra" are:
- to promote the development of the subject through academic exchange between
latinoamerican researchers;
- to update the knownledge of the local mathematical comunity by inviting senior researchers from the
region and outside.
- to introduce graduate and advanced undergraduate students to the current research in
the field.

Here you will find useful information about the coloquium, as how to arrive, hotel adresses, etc.
Buquebus tickets and reservations
The Buquebus ferry is a rather large ship and it is not strictly necessary to make reservations in advance --today there are still more than 800 unocuppied places at the ships required by the participants--. Once the participant arrives to Colonia, with the presentation of the ticket and a proof of the participation at the XVI Cla --we will issue the necessary documents at registration time-- at the Buquebus office in Colonia, a small reinbursement can be obtained.
