I want to talk about something, something very beautiful, starting here in

America in the southwest of Peru, in front of the great Pacific Ocean in 527
kilometers of Peruvian coastline. In a small, warm and beautiful city called
Arequipa. With a history dating back 8000 years

It is normal for the Arequipeños to hear daily phrases such as: "Hey, you are not
Arequipeño, if it isn ¨t sacred for you to eat adobo every Sunday" or another
phrase such as "you, you are not Arequipa if you never fed the pigeons as a
child" of weapons. "Yes, today I will talk about my city, my land
A city that has him, that has a flag, that has a shield.

The white city is a very special place, in fact, the question is: Why is an Arequipa
fan fanning himself with a saw? Because they told him that the air in the
mountains is healthier. What person who is not born at the foot of a volcano
feels trapped by the heat of the lava, well, not really because the weather is
dry and it's quite cold in some times.

A person born in Arequipa probably considers that his nationality isn ¨t

Peruvian, if not Arequipeño. Loncco, is the name of the Arequipa peasant who
lived in the countryside of the city of Arequipa until the end of the 20th century,
characterized by being a very tough, hard-working, cheerful and gallant type
and the true Arequipans are characterized.

In the year 1980, Arequipa had 706 580 inhabitants, quite true ?. But currently it
has 1 287 205 inhabitants which gives us a population density of 18.9 inhabitants
/ km 2. Having the highest population index with urban residence and only 9.4%
of the rural population. Because most people leave their native country to seek
opportunities for study, work, etc.

Arequipa is becoming an imam of the inhabitants who come from different

departments and provinces, remembering that it is the second pole of industrial
development of the country, due to the fact that there are different leading
companies that are producers of consumer goods for the majority of people,
both national as regional.

In turn, the increase in population density in recent years has been decisive for
the expansion of the city, but it is also causing problems such as traffic
congestion, increased contamination of the Rio Chili by the proximity to the
urban area, registering more than 50 points of discharges of contaminated
water from domestic, commercial, etc.

As a conclusion, the population could be made aware of this problem, so that

people do not focus on the city and that the development of the country can
be a general development, where absolutely the whole country increases its
technological expectations.
