David Segundo Chaparro Pareja (Cuzco; March 29, 1875 — Lima; July 27, 1963) was a Peruvian teacher, politician and jurist. He held a parliamentary position in the Peruvian congress for Cuzco Province.[1]
Chaparro was born on March 29, 1875, in Cuzco. He was the son of José Valentín Chaparro and María Carmen Pareja. His sister Lucía was the mother of Jorge Chávez Chaparro, rector of the University of Cuzco from 1961 to 1966.[2] He studied at Saint Anthony the Abbot Seminary and in the National College of Sciences. His higher education studies were at the University of Cuczo and the University of Arequipa, graduating from the latter in 1904. He participated in the unsuccessful coup d'état in 1908, fighting in the battle of Calca. After another coup in 1909 that led to the declaration of a national amnesty, he left his refuge in the valley of Lares.[3][4][5]
