<br/>
&quot;For more than 50 years, between 10 in the morning and two in afternoon every<br/>
Sunday, the inhabitants of the towns located on the frontier of Chile, Perú, and<br/>
Bolivia meet at the tripartite landmark, demarcated by a cement monolith painted<br/>
white.<br/>
<br/>
&quot;It is called the Tripartite Fair, an instance of meeting in which the Chileans<br/>
of the locality of Visviri, Peruvians of Alto Perú, and the Bolivians of Charaña<br/>
interchange products, such as skins of llamas and alpacas, household appliances,<br/>
vegetables, and foods.<br/>
<br/>
&quot;Just last Sunday, three troopers and a second lieutenant of the customs police<br/>
of Bolivia participated actively in the event, where they conversed, animated<br/>
and cordially waving, with the policemen of the Possession of Visviri.&quot;<br/>
<br/>
Neat, huh?  It should be that way at every tripoint!<br/>
