About this place
At the end of May, commercial activity intensifies at the northern tip of the department with the Aguas Verdes Patron Saint Festival, celebrated on May 30th. This border district is the main wholesale and retail trade artery with Huaquillas (Ecuador), and its patron saint festival gathers devotees and traders in an atmosphere of religious fervor.
Aguas Verdes uses its patron saint festival as a mechanism to strengthen bilateral trade ties under the protection of religious devotion, turning the celebration into a meeting point for Peruvians and Ecuadorians.
How to get there
It takes place in Aguas Verdes, a border district of Zarumilla province, next to the international bridge connecting to Huaquillas (Ecuador).
