Cusco flood


Today we visited Lucre and Huarcarpay, one of the areas hardest hit by the January flooding. Most of the water has since dried up, but has left behind a total disaster. 







Looking through the front door of what used to be someones home


corn fields have been ruined

All that is left of this house is the metal gate








The next few photos are of an elementary school. The buildings simply sunk into the ground




There are still over 600 left homeless






The tent living conditions are sad. no electricity, running water or bathroom.

That's a lot of damage. Will they be able to clear away the rubble and rebuild?
