It’s very cool that Peruvians celebrate so many places on the anniversary of their founding! Today, it’s Moquegua’s turn:
It’s very cool that Peruvians celebrate so many places on the anniversary of their founding! Today, it’s Moquegua’s turn:n
n

nWe’re talking food festivals, dance contests, mountain bike races, hang gliding contests, tours, music performances, and a Friendship Parade with floats and marchers!

| Moquegua is the sourhern part of Peru. |

n
n
n
n
nHere’s some info about Moquegua:
n
n
n
n
n
nIt’s on the coast – but it’s really dry. The result is desert coastline.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThe nearby river is used to irrigate (provide water for) crops such as avocados, apricots, and olives.
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThe fountain in Moqueguya’s main square was designed by the world-famous architect Gustave Eiffel, who also built a certain world-famous tower…
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nThe nearby volcano, called Ubinas, is…um…shall we say still active?
n
n
n
nThis 2015 volcanic splutter scattered ashes for miles / kilometers!
n
n
n
n
n
n
n
nSo…from the coast to the highlands, Moquegua is really pretty:
