Piura

Hello everybody!!

Let´s continue learning about Peru and its departments. We have started with Tumbes and now it's Piura's turn.

We are following the order from north to south, that means that we will go from Tumbes to Tacna in order to cover all the coast.

In this opportunity we have Sofía Zamora and Thiago Oliver as our presenters. Let's see!!

Sofía started talking about Piura's ubication in the north of the coast. She told us that the weather in Piura is always sunny and hot. She also brought us some delicious "chifles" (or plantain chips)from Piura and a "poto" to explain us that people from Piura drink "chicha de jora" served in a pot like that. Catacaos is the place where potos are made and Chulucanas the place where pottery like "gorditos" are famous, she said.


On the other side, we have Thiago, who enphasized his presentation talking about the most known beaches in Piura. There is Máncora, Órganos, and Colán. He also showed us some pictures of The "Plaza de Armas de Piura" and its cathedral. Something that was surprising for our students is that Piura that has beaches, also has deserts like Sechura.
