Unusually cold weather and snow in parts of South America have affected thousands of people in several countries.

The cold spell has killed at least seven people in Peru, four in Bolivia and two in Paraguay.

In the latter, the authorities blamed the weather for the death of more than 5,000 cattle too.

Weather forecasters say a cold front from Antarctica entered the region almost a week ago.

On Friday, the Peruvian deputy education minister, Martin Vegas, said schools were closed in 43 provinces in 10 regions.

"They will remain closed next week as more snowfalls have been forecast," he said.

Thousands of llamas and alpacas have died in the cold weather.

it's in the 60s in peru and uruguay right now, a little cooler on average in peru and a little warmer in uruguay than when i was in both places this summer. odd that the bolivian andes and paraguayan flatlands got it so badly and neither bordering peru or uruguay respectively

lol at everyone who views every cold- or hot-snap as a sign or not a sign of changes to the weather...

hint: there may be just a little more to it...
