Current event in Peru


The province of Quillabamba, (Cusco), doesn't have any power supply, since last night a landslide hit Electrical facilities, located near Machupicchu. It was said to have been a large rock that hit the power station. It shouldn't be up and running until about a week either. The minister of Energy mines, (Pedro Sanchez) had temporary equipment replace the messed up power station. They were installed in the city of Santa Maria in a sub station. This provided some power until the real generators are up and running again.

Recent Peru news: 2010


On January 31st, more than twenty people were killed, 38,000 lost their homes, and over three hundred people were lost in a massive flood. The flood took place in a known flood region: The low lands of Machu Pichu. Since Peru is a poor country, there was no aid for the people in the flood. This was a terrible tragedy for all.
