The '78 Flood
The year 1978 left a deep mark on La Pelada’s water history. As a result of extraordinary rainfall and the saturation of a complex watershed, the town and its rural surroundings were submerged in severe flooding that drastically altered the region’s daily life. We invite you to view some photographs of the event.
