Chupanga

Eastern Africa

Chupanga, formerly Shupanga and also known as Lacerdónia, is a village on the right bank of the Zambezi River in Marromeu District of Sofala Province. It is the administrative centre of one of the two postos that make up the district, and strata of grey and yellow sandstone with limestone lie nearby. The village was founded before Europeans arrived. Wikipedia gives coordinates for Chupanga that fall at about 18.04 degrees south and 35.61 degrees east. The SRTM 90 metre elevation model reads about 43 metres above sea level at that point. Like the rest of Mozambique, Chupanga keeps Central Africa Time, which is two hours ahead of UTC all year.
