A Pyramid in the Amazon? The Mystery of Cerro El Cono in Peru’s Sierra del Divisor

The mysterious peak of Cerro El Cono, standing isolated in the Sierra del Divisor, a mountainous border between Peru and Brazil, has drawn attention of researchers for its mysterious pyramidal shape, emerging from the plain and protruding from the virgin lowland forest. In the Andes mountain range, the structure is visible from a distance of up to 250 miles (400 kilometers) on clear days. Because of its remote location, Cerro El Cono’s origins have remained a mystery. Some reports suggest that “The cone hill” may just be a peculiar rock structure, while others speculate that it may be an extinct volcano.  Origin Theories According to research featured in La República, the 1310-foot-tall Corro El Cono is a spiritual entity for the local tribes. It is respected as an Andean Apu, a secret mountain believed to hold protective powers for the people living in its vicinity. Some researchers speculate it as an extinct volcano due to its distinct shape, but this hypothesis remains unconfirmed due to limited research and accessibility issues in this area.Another explanation — …

India clinch back-to-back silver medals at ISSF World Cup in Peru

India continued its fine run in shooting as Arya Borse and Rudrankksh Patil clinched the silver medal in the 10m air rifle mixed team event at the ISSF World Cup 2025, registering the country’s back-to-back silver medals. The Indian pair lost a tightly contested final 11-17 to the Norwegian duo of Jon-Hermann Hegg and Jeanette Hegg Duestad on Sunday, settling for a well-fought silver. This result follows another impressive showing on Saturday: Arjun Babuta bagged silver in the men’s 10m air rifle event. The 26-year-old Babuta came agonisingly close to clinching gold, finishing with a total of 252.3 points in the final — just 0.1 behind reigning Olympic champion Sheng Li Hao of China. Babuta was leading the final until the last double-elimination round, standing at 231.5 to Li’s 231.2 with two shots to go. However, the Chinese shooter flipped the script with a perfect 10.9 on his penultimate attempt, while Babuta could manage only 10.3. Though Babuta closed with a 10.5 — slightly higher than Li’s 10.3 — it wasn’t enough to overhaul the …

Ex-Peru President, His Wife Jailed For Money Laundering

Ex-Peru President, His Wife Jailed For Money Laundering

Lima: A Peruvian court on Tuesday sentenced ex-president Ollanta Humala and his wife to 15 years in prison for graft linked to a globe-spanning corruption scandal involving Brazilian construction group Odebrecht paying bribes to politicians. The court found the 62-year-old and his wife Nadine Heredia guilty of money laundering for receiving illegal contributions from Odebrecht and the Venezuelan government in two presidential campaigns. Humala was taken into custody in the courtroom after the ruling, and Judge Nayko Coronado ordered the arrest of Heredia, who did not attend the sentencing hearing. Heredia later sought asylum at the Brazilian embassy in Lima. Humala, a former army officer who led the country from 2011 to 2016, became in 2022 the first Peruvian ex-president to go on trial in the Odebrecht corruption scandal, which has also seen three other former presidents implicated. Two-term leader Alan Garcia committed suicide in 2019 when police came to his house to arrest him, while Alejandro Toledo (in power from 2001 to 2006) was sentenced last year to more than 20 years in prison …

Peru fisherman lost for 95 days in Pacific Ocean returns home | News Today News

A Peruvian fisherman who spent 95 days lost in the Pacific Ocean, eating roaches, birds and sea turtles to survive, is returning home to his family. Maximo Napa had set off for a fishing trip from Marcona, a town on the southern Peruvian coast, on December 7. He packed food for a two week trip but ten days in, stormy weather threw his boat off course and he ended up adrift in the Pacific Ocean. His family launched a search but Peru’s maritime patrols were unable to locate him until Wednesday, when an Ecuadorian fishing patrol discovered him some 680 miles (1,094 km) off the country’s coast, heavily dehydrated and in critical condition. Story continues below this ad “I did not want to die,” Napa told Reuters after reuniting with his brother, in Paita, near the border with Ecuador. “I ate roaches, birds, the last thing I ate was turtles.” He said he stayed strong thinking about his family, including his two-month-old granddaughter, even as he survived on rainwater he collected on the boat and …

The film has earned USD 14 million in the USA and Canada, while its international performance has been significantly stronger, contributing USD 116 million to its total. With positive word of mouth and sustained audience interest, Paddington in Peru still has abundant momentum, and projections suggest it could reach between USD 160 million and USD 175 million worldwide.
