Flood damage near Cusco



Today we visited the Community of Huacarpay about 40 mins out if Cusco. The community of 500+ people has been completely devastated following the heavy rains in the last few days. Flood waters have destroyed most of the houses. Most people are staying in temporary shelters and trying to salvage whatever possessions they can. Short term aid is arriving, but the long term solution could be a difficult process. For more pictures from our visit please click here.
