          Machu Picchu and Cuzco news about heavy rains
 


Heavy Rains in Machu Picchu and Cuzco NoticeIs internationally known about the heavy and abnormal rains that occurs at the south of Peru, the personal and material damages and floods that have caused this. So, due the incorrect and non exactly information that some press produced, we prefer to inform the following:

First at all, this confusion was caused due the similar name between the town or city and the province or department name.

The train service to Machu Picchu has been suspended until last week of March. The Machu Picchu Inca citadel and Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu has not damage.

The city of Cuzco and Puno has no damages or floods due rains. The affected places are towns situated at the highest zones of the Andean Mountain Range, inside the department of Cuzco and department of Puno.

The tourist services in Cuzco city, Puno and Lake Titicaca are normally operated. The flights and bus services from / to Cuzco and Puno are normally operated. (February 2010)

 

 
Peru a Living Culture
          Candelaria Virgin's Feast
 


The "Candelaria" feast fully justifies Puno's claim to the title of Folklore Capital, for its wealth of dances, ornamentation and sumptuous costumes.  This party is uninterruptedly celebrated for more than 30 years. It convokes many communities and dance groups of the whole south area of Peru and foreign delegations who are presented in big artistic competitions arriving with their own musical groups and dramatize in beautiful choreographs in parades by the streets and contests in the stadium of Puno The feast of the "Virgen de la Candelaria" begins on the eve of the 2nd of February and last until the first Sunday after that day, and ends one week after continuing with the celebration of the Carnivals. On February 9th the folklore parade is celebrated. The groups, which paraded days before, on the 2nd, now return for a procession before the Virgin, who will gaze them from the atrium of the church. Then, folk groups set off through the city, dancing tirelessly until sunset. At the end of the week the feast ends in the cemetery, for the paying of respects of the dead.
