Description: People from all over the world modeled their communities in 3D with Google SketchUp for the world to see in Google Earth. Jorge De Albertis Bettocchi, a 38 year old corporate business attorney, garnered the most votes from the public for his beautiful models of the Barranco District in Lima, Peru. The prize for winning the competition was, in part, $10,000 USD granted to a public school in Barranco, as well as a community celebration in Barranco with a visit from the Google team. Congratulations, Jorge and Lima! Music provided by Colectivo Circo Band.

  • beautiful grand old architecture. it deserves to be shared.

  • Muy interesante y orgullos que somos peruanos

  • I never know there was a such competition until now, the video is very fascinating for me because several months ago I began to model small areas of local community, hoping that will also serves in the future game! Another reason is I finally got to comprehend why someone took the efforts modeling the Shanghai Financial Center for Google earth.

  • Me alegra constatar que hay muchas personas sencillas con muchas cualidades diseminadas en lugares aparentemente "tercermundistas" que tienen mucho que enseñarnos, que difundir... No sólo la belleza de la región, sino las cualidades de estas personas y otras muchas más ocultas en el anonimato. Muchas felicidades al ganador y a su querida ciudad.

  • Felicitaciones.... que joya arquitectonica, hay que visitarla y que motivación, no solo por ver iconos de nuestra cultura latina, sino por el gran trabajo... vamos por cartagena ?

  • Excelente trabajo! que poder! Felicidades.

  • Excelente trabajo! que poder! Felicidades.

  • Te felicito por tu buen trabajo, materializar tu idea hasta lograrlo. Tambien quiero resaltar por haber elegido barranco por su historica architectura.

  • Como una iniciativa para contribuir a Google Earth tus modelos está muy bien, pero como CONCURSO es una PORQUERIA! Checa las bases, te piden que les firmes no se cuantos documentos legales dándoles autorización para hacer lo que quieran con tu envio, imagen personal etc. y deslindándolos de toda responsabilidad y aceptar indemnizarlos. Y (parte de) el premio es una burla: te INVITAN a la ciudad que modelaste, pero tu pagas todos tus gastos (transporte, alojamiento, comidas etc) jajaja... no maaa

  • Que bueno!!! yo estuve ahi! es hermoso!!
