On Friday I wrote about how the Lima district of San Borja planned to light an eco-friendly Christmas Tree using LED lights, wind power, power, and bicycles. As promised, here are several photos of the beautiful tree.

10 Bicycles in conjuction with a wind turbine and 2 small solar panels were used to power the tree.

Even reindeer make their way to Peru at Christmas time.

The tree is attracting considerable interest. We ourselves plan to go back several more times to enjoy it.

    Thats cool. In my neighbourhood people don’t even use LED lamps on their trees. Cause they look to cold compared to conventional lights.
