FACTORTIERRA

A trekking trail connecting at least three sites with archaeological evidence in Malingas.   Photographs gathered by Milton Garcia Navarro   TAMBOGRANDÉ, Peru – In 2011, FACTORTIERRA announced to the world the existence of an archaeological rests network that could be until 4000 years old, located at the central part of Malingas Community . Basically, it’s about evidences of art-on-the-rock on and around Malingas Cord, a branch formed by five mounts apparently caused by volcanic activity judging the basalt that mostly forms their slopes. More than a decade later, it’s starting to value the touristic potential the zone has, despite the sites have not officially confirmed yet, they just have a preliminary survey by the archaeologist Daniel Dávila Manrique , the first scientific explorer of the zone between 2010 and 2011. “I’d like to return, make a new survey of every site,” Dávila said to FACTORTIERRA, when he learned about the initiative of giving them a touristic use.

Una ruta de trekking que conecta al menos tres sitios con evidencia arqueológica en Malingas.   Fotos recopiladas por Milton García Navarro   TAMBOGRANDE, Piura – en 2011, FACTORTIERRA anunció al mundo la existencia de una red de restos arqueológicos que podrían tener hasta 4000 años de antigüedad, ubicada en la parte central de la comunidad de Malingas . Básicamente se tratan de evidencias de arte rupestre en y alrededor del cordón Malingas, un ramal conformado por cinco cerros de origen aparentemente volcánico a juzgar por el basalto que mayormente forma sus laderas. Más de una década después, se comienza a valorar el potencial turístico que tiene la zona, a pesar que los sitios aún no han sido puestos en valor y solo cuentan con un estudio preliminar realizado entre 2010 y 2011 por el arqueólogo Daniel Dávila Manrique , el primer explorador científico de la zona. “Me gustaría regresar, hacer un nuevo registro de cada uno de los sitios”, dijo Dávila a FACTORTIERRA al c

Estudiantes de una escuela rural cultivan sus alimentos y producen un podcast.   Texto y Fotografías por David Domínguez (el Tambograndino Noticias).   TAMBOGRANDE,Piura – Los estudiantes del colegio Niño Jesús de Praga, en el caserío El Convento , comunidad de Malingas Alto , están desarrollando dos proyectos educativos desde las asignaturas de educación para el Trabajo y Comunicación. El primero se enfoca en mejorar las capacidades técnico-productivas para cultivar hortalizas orgánicas. Los estudiantes con asesoría del docente de educación para el Trabajo siembran pepinillos (pepinos),culantro (cilantro), zanahorias, beterragas (remolachas), entre otros. Los estudiantes siembran, riegan y cuidan las hortalizas, y lo interesante es que la experiencia de la escuela es llevada a casa a modo de cosecha con el propósito de ser incorporada a la dieta familiar. Aunque el campo produce estos vegetales, su consumo local tiende a ser mínimo a pesar de su alto poder nutritivo.

The basic you must know before, during, and after your place shakes. The land or the sea shake. It’s a fact that a quake breaks out everyday and every moment. Some are perceived by the human being, other don’t. we can’t avoid the process to happen. The fear and the questions appear almost immediately. Here we are going to take the most frequent ones, so answering them from a scientific perspective.   How do the quakes happen? The soil where we are onto seems to be an only  solid block, but it’s actually thousands of pieces floating over millions of liters of melted rock due to high pressure. Take many objects to float in a case, they could touch, crash, or embed, and every scenario’s cause transmits in waves. Let’s bring that figure out to the colossal size of the Earth . When some of those pieces interact violently to another, it breaks out a vibration we experience like a shake. Or like we call it technically – a quake . The scientists call it seism , but it describes th
