(August 22nd)
Every August 22, Folklore Day, declared by UNESCO, is celebrated around the
world. This date was chosen in commemoration of the letter published by the
British archaeologist William G. Thorns in the London magazine “Atheneum”,
where the term “folklore” was first used.
This term is a word created with the union of “folk” (people) and lore (knowledge)
and is used to refer to the ancestral manifestations of cultures around the world,
such as the arts, music and customs of the people that They are transmitted from
generation to generation. Folklore is the authentic expression of a people that
encompasses the traditions that distinguish one culture from another.
In Peru, a series of cultural manifestations develop through different customs and
traditions that persist over the years. We can find manifestations of folklore in
many areas of the country, with dances that demonstrate the joy of each town in
celebrations of patron saints or customs of various regions.
Peruvian folklore is probably the most varied and rich in South America. This is
because this country is located exactly where the oldest civilizations born on the
continent lived. This folklore consists of three geographical expressions: the
coastal, the Andean and the Amazonian.

UNESCO SENT LETTER TO THE PERUVIAN
GOVERNMENT REQUESTING
INFORMATION ABOUT CHINCHERO
AIRPORT
The Agency wants to know about the possible effects that the airport would cause
in the Sacred Valley of the Incas. Historians and archaeologists questioned the
project.
The Chinchero airport is one of the most questioned projects in the Cusco region.
It has been more than 40 years in which the work cannot be executed. During his
presidential message, Martín Vizcarra announced its construction in 2020, but this
initiative faced new obstacles.
The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO)
has doubts about the project.
The interest in knowing this information comes after a series of questions from
historians and archaeologists who have shown their rejection of the airport.
According to what they alleged in different spaces, it constitutes a “serious
threat.” They support it by the effects that noise, increased traffic and
uncontrolled urbanization would have on the town of Chinchero, Ollantaytambo
and the world wonder Machupicchu. Regarding this, the English newspaper “The
Guardian” published a report in which several local archaeologists denounced
that the planes would pass at “low altitude”, causing damage to the Inca ruins.
