Moho, Peru

Moho is a town in the south of Peru. It is the capital of Moho Province, one of the provinces of the Puno Region, and the Aymara form of its name is Muju. Its coordinates place it at roughly 15 degrees 21 minutes south and 69 degrees 30 minutes west, and it keeps Peru Time, five hours behind Coordinated Universal Time. The GeoNames gazetteer lists the place as the seat of a third-order administrative division of Puno, which matches its role as the seat of Moho District, the district that shares its name with the province. The English Wikipedia article on the town is very short, so this entry records only its identity, its place in the administrative hierarchy of Peru and its location. Population, founding date and climate are not stated in the sources read for this entry.
