🏡 POZUZO: A PIECE OF EUROPE IN THE HEART OF THE PERUVIAN RAINFOREST 🌿🇩🇪🇦🇹 Did you know that in the Peruvian Amazon there is a place where people dance polka, speak an old form of German, and enjoy sausages surrounded by macaws? 🕺🌭🐦 Yes, it exists, and it’s called Pozuzo. Founded in 1859 by Austro-German immigrants who crossed the Andes on an epic journey, Pozuzo was established in the jungle foothills of Peru, in what is now the Pasco region. 🏞 Pozuzo is a unique example of cultural blending: traditions from the Tyrolean and Rhineland regions of Europe fused with the natural and cultural richness of the Andes and the Amazon. You’ll find alpine-style houses, colorful flower gardens, traditional clothing, festivals with dances like the schuhplattler, and celebrations where German cuisine blends with Peruvian ingredients. 🍺🥨🌽 Today, Pozuzo is not only living history, but also a symbol of intercultural coexistence, resilience, and respect for nature. Its landscapes, crystal-clear rivers, and warm hospitality make it one of Peru’s most fascinating destinations. 🏔🌴 🏡 POZUZO: UN PEDAZO DE EUROPA EN MEDIO DE LA SELVA PERUANA 🌿🇩🇪🇦🇹 ¿Sabías que en la Amazonía peruana existe un lugar donde se baila polka, se habla alemán antiguo y se comen salchichas entre guacamayos? 🕺🌭🐦 ¡Sí! Existe, y se llama Pozuzo. Fundado en 1859 por inmigrantes austro-alemanes que cruzaron los Andes en una travesía épica, Pozuzo se estableció en la ceja de selva del Perú, en la actual región de Pasco. 🏞 Pozuzo es un ejemplo único de mestizaje cultural: tradiciones del Tirol y Renania fusionadas con la riqueza natural y cultural de los Andes y la Amazonía. Allí encontrarás casas de estilo alpino, jardines floridos, trajes típicos, danzas tradicionales como el schuhplattler y una gastronomía donde lo alemán se mezcla con ingredientes peruanos. 🍺🥨🌽 Hoy, Pozuzo no solo es historia viva, sino también un símbolo de convivencia intercultural, resiliencia y amor por la naturaleza. Sus paisajes, ríos cristalinos y hospitalidad lo convierten en uno de los destinos más fascinantes del Perú. 🏔🌴 ✨ Visitar Pozuzo es como viajar a otro continente… ¡sin salir del Perú! #OrgulloPeruano #Pozuzo #HistoriaViva #CulturaPeruana #HistoriaVivaPhotos from Peruvian Cultural Festival's post Featured News by Peruvian Cultural Festival

Coos Bay Fire Department will conduct a live training burn at 369 S. Marple St. on Monday, Dec. 8, from 5:00 PM to about 7:00 PM. This exercise gives your firefighters hands-on training under real conditions. Crews will practice exterior fire attack, water supply operations, rescue skills, ventilation, and exposure protection. These drills help keep your firefighters ready for real emergencies. This will be a controlled burn with extra safety resources on scene to protect personnel and nearby properties. The 300 block of S. Marple St. will be reduced to one lane during the exercise, and hose lines will cross part of the roadway. Please drive slowly if you travel through the area. We will monitor wind and smoke conditions during the training. Please keep windows closed during the burn and contact us if smoke enters your home.
