Deadliest Journeys - Peru: Vertigo In The Andes

00:00 Summary
06:15 The town of Trujillo
07:11 373 km of precipice between Trujillo and Retamas
14:50 Cotahuasi Canyon, the devil's mouth
21:00 The Paracas desert
26:56 The most dangerous part of the mountain
30:36 Retamas, the city of gold
36:39 80 km to go shopping
41:57 On Asia Island, one of the toughest jobs in the world
43:53 Guano, one of the world's best natural fertilizers
On Deep canyons cut into the Andes cordillera from the north to the south of Peru. In order to supply the gold mines, tend their vines or quite simply gain access to their villages, people have no choice but to take the most improbable of roads, hewn out of the rock. Major companies always find their place at the end of the road, attracted by the fabulous natural resources of the country, either under the ground with its wealth of precious metals or in its waters teeming with fish. However, it’s rare for all this wealth to benefit the lowly workers, the men and women who have to bend double to work deep in the shafts, scratching at the earth amidst clouds of ammonia, or risk their lives at the end of a 200’ rope, for a handful of euros. From the Maranon River valley to the Cotahuasi canyon, by way of the Paracas desert, this Impossible Road makes its way through a Peru of magnificent landscapes, but where life comes at a high price…

    The Inca didnt show up til about 1250. One of the cradles of civilization is Peru and the norte Chico people just outside of lima date back about 5 thousand years. From there you have all the coastal tribes like paracas(with the long skulls) nazca and the line, chamur with Chan Chan in Trujillo that is the largest Adobe city ever found anywhere, mocha the the many highlands tribes like the wari, chapacoya, and many other. The really old ones are by lake titikaka. The number of jungle people is countless as tribes are very small.

I took the bike ride down hill thinking that way I wouldn't be stuck in a van. Oops you take a van back up to la paz. Really pretty ride though. I would read or sleep on the buses cause you didn't want to see the road.
