Earthquakes

Earthquakes are among the most powerful and terrifying events on earth. Unfortunately for thousands of years they have been a common occurrence in Peru. Although scientists have tried for decades to predict earthquakes, until today we still don’t know when and where to expect the next tremor.

So, if you are living in Peru or just visiting the country, it might be wise to be prepared and know what to do.
