Overview
- Tons of rock fell onto the Panamericana Sur at Quebrada Honda (km 728), converting about 50 meters of the road into a high‑risk, traffic‑restricted area.
- Buses, freight trucks and private cars were stranded or forced to pass through a narrow gap, and operators reported periods when the route was completely blocked.
- PROVÍAS Nacional deployed heavy machinery and a front loader to clear debris and rehabilitate the carriageway under local and regional supervision.
- COER Arequipa maintains permanent monitoring of the slope and warns that unstable terrain and steep gradients raise the chance of new detachments.
- Authorities urge drivers to avoid the sector and follow official updates as crews carry out cleanup and a reported maintenance program that includes pothole repair, recapping and new signage over 980 m².
