Machu Picchu "twinned" with Haworth
On Friday 21st October 2005 a ceremony was held to mark the official "twinning" of Haworth in Bronte Country with the Incan citadel of Machu Picchu - high in the Peruvian Andes (!)
Twinning will mean closer cooperation between the communities of Haworth and Machu Pichu - even though they are thousands of miles apart. On face value there might not appear to be much similarity between the two villages, but they are both world famous in their own right and are both significant tourist attractions. They are also both participants in the Fairtrade project, Haworth having been an official Fairtrade village since 2002.
