The genetic patterns of potato distribution indicate that the potato probably originated in the mountainous west-central region of the continent. According to Dr. Hector Flores, the most probable place of origin of potatoes is located between the south of Peru and the northeast of Bolivia.
In any case it seems that the first potato to reach Europe arrived in Spain and must have come from Peru and transhiped through Cartagena in Columbia in the mid-sixteenth century. The potato was domesticated in the High Andes as early as seven to ten thousand years ago and was widely cultivated by Inca times.
