A landslide on 27 January 2019 in Abancay, Peru, killed at least 15 people and injured 34 more when it destroyed part of a hotel during a wedding celebration. The celebration at the Alhambra Hotel was attended by 100 people at the time of the landslide, which caused the building to collapse.[1] The landslide was triggered by heavy rains from earlier in the day.[2]
