Payments are made through the Banco de la Nación and aim to support the economy of Peruvian households facing financial difficulties.
In the world of science and the environment, a surprising discovery has caught the attention of experts: eucalyptus trees can extract gold particles from the soil. Thanks to their deep roots, these trees carry the metal to their leaves, which could help lead to more sustainable mining. Additionally, in Lima, the story of the "Selva Escondida" (Hidden Jungle) in San Juan de Lurigancho stands out. This 4,000-square-meter oasis of vegetation has grown for 40 years in the middle of the city, offering a natural refuge for citizens.
Concerning news comes from Huancavelica, where a 400-kilo bull has been trapped near the Mantaro River for 20 days.
