Pozuzo District, German-Austrian settlement district in Oxapampa Province, Peru
The district occupies 1,394 square kilometers of land in the eastern part of Peru, with elevations ranging from 731 to 1000 meters above sea level.
In 1857, a group of 300 Tyrolean and Prussian settlers traveled from Europe to Peru, establishing their permanent settlement in Pozuzo by 1859.
The district maintains elements of Germanic influence through its architecture, farming methods, and annual celebrations that reflect its European colonization heritage.
The region experiences stable temperatures between 19 and 30 degrees Celsius throughout the year, with significant rainfall that supports agriculture and cattle raising.
Pozuzo remained disconnected from other communities until 1976, when the first vehicle road connected the district to the town of Oxapampa.
