Olopa

Olopa is a municipality in the Chiquimula department of Guatemala. The municipality comprises an area of 112 km2, distributed in 1 town (Olopa) and 29 villages, with a total population of 27,511.[1]

It is bordered on the north by the municipality of Jocotán, on the south and east by Esquipulas, and on the west by Quezaltepeque and San Juan Hermitage. It has a subtropical highland climate (Köppen: Cwb).

History

Olopa was originally inhabited by the Ch'orti' but was invaded by tribes of the Valley of Mexico. In April or May 1860, the Capuchin Fathers, who had evangelized in the eastern of the country, donated to the inhabitants of the valley of Olopa an "Image of the Divine Shepherd" and constructed a church, made of straw. In March 1870, according to the Corregidor de Chiquimula Don Juan Peralta Baptist, Olopa was an indigenous town, with a pajiza church, and a resident Catholic Priest. On 1870-11-25 Don Juan Peralta Baptist authorized the establishment of Olopa as a municipality.

Climate

Olapa is located between the 1,300 and 1,600 meters above sea level, with an average of 130 days of rain per year. Temperature varies between 18 and 25 degrees Celsius.

gollark: Lua, being cool™, actually lets you override the global environment other functions see. Which allows sandboxing very easily (minus some DoS attacks), since you just give them an environment with no I/O functions.
gollark: All the I/O stuff in CC is provided to user code via a bunch of tables of functions like `fs` in the global scope.
gollark: Specifically², function environments mostly.
gollark: Process management stuff got enhanced isolation after a spate of bugs relating to that, so it's *probably* okay now, but there are still problems, inevitably.
gollark: Also, some stuff was deliberately not isolated to the extent it should have been for security - mostly the process management, but possibly some filesystem IO.
