We flew into this city from Lima and will take a bus up to Chuschi which is over 9000 ft high. This city is famous in Peru. The peruvians conquered the Spanish here to win independence. In the 1980s and 1990s the Shining Path movement started here which eventually ended up murdering 90,000 people. Also in the 1980s
Pope John Paul II came here to be with the poorest people in Peru. No American influences here and very few gringos.
