Divo is an important city in the south of Côte d'Ivoire, located in the south-central region of the country, about 200 kilometers from the economic capital Abidjan. As a transportation hub in the lagoon region, Divo is a key node connecting the coast to the interior, and with a population of approximately 170,000 (2021 estimate), it is one of the more populous cities in Côte d'Ivoire.
Divo has a predominantly agrarian economy, with a vast expanse of land suitable for the cultivation of cash crops such as cocoa, coffee, palm oil and rubber, and is known as one of the core production areas of the Ivorian "Cocoa Belt". The city has a market for agricultural products and is the center of regional trade. In recent years, the city has also developed light industry and logistics.
The city has a predominantly Akan population and retains its traditional West African culture, while being influenced by its French colonial past. The city is well connected by road to major cities such as Abidjan and Yamoussoukro, but the infrastructure is still being developed. Visitors can experience the local markets and countryside, and get a real taste of life in a landlocked West African city.
Lima, Peru, situated in the desert on the Pacific coast, is the capital and largest city of Peru and an important cultural and economic center of South America. With a history of nearly 500 years, this ancient city is a blend of Indian, Spanish, African and Asian cultures. The Old Town, which was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1991, features a mix of colonial architecture and modern high-rise buildings. Lima is also known as the "capital of gastronomy", with fresh seafood, traditional lemon ceviche, and Peruvian Lomo Saltado attracting diners from all over the world. Thanks to its desert climate, it enjoys a mild year-round climate with an average annual temperature of around 19°C, making it an ideal gateway for exploring Peru's history and flavor, as well as an important trade hub connecting South America with the Asia-Pacific region.
