	Ancash Region - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		It is bordered by the La Libertad Region on the north, the Huánuco and Pasco regions on the east, the Lima Region on the south, and the Pacific Ocean on the west.
		The territory of the coast, high plateaux and Andean punas of the Ancash Region are flat, while the rest of its territory, occupied by the Andes, is very rough.
		In Ancash, the geographical center of the region is formed by the Callejón de Huaylas, which is an area with intense touristic activities due to its large variety of natural attractions as well as facilities to practice many sports, and its large remains of the cultures that flourished in the region.

	Huaraz Peru - Ancash Peru by Peru Travels
		Amidst the high Andean pastures and cropfields that make up the department of Ancash, one can almost always find a small church or village of red-tiled roofs with a fragrance of freshly-baked bread on the air.
		Wedged between two soaring mountain chains -the Cordillera Negra and Cordillera Blanca- the Callejón de Huaylas gave rise to the ancient Chavín civilization, who have left a legacy in the Chavín de Huántar temple just hours from the city of Huaraz, the capital of the department.
		Ancash, however, is a vast department that includes not only the highlands, but also stretches as far as the coast where one can find cities like the fishing port of Chimbote or Casma, a tranquil town by the shores of the Pacific.

		For a documentary about the impact of the 1970 earthquake on Huaraz and Yungay, we are looking for films and photos of the region before and just after the quake.
		The agrarian reform of 1968 and the earthquake of 1970 precipitated changes in the socio economic structures of the Ancash region and the urban order of some cities like Huaraz and Yungay.
		These were in such a magnitude that it can easily be classified as the end of a colonial system that existed in certain aspects since the XIX century and the beginning of a period of improvisations, tentatives and experiments of a new urban, social, politic and administrative order.
