Peru, the Hell of the Peaks | Deadliest Journeys

Показать описание

Peru. From North to South, the Andes Cordillera, with peaks over 6000 meters. Between these mountains, a network of roads, the most dangerous in Latin America. Connecting the Pacific Ocean to the Amazon rainforest is a feat. In this country, each year, more than 3000 people die there. . Twice a week, Juan Carlos takes up a challenge. Deliver without any breakage, a shipment of eggs from the Pacific coast to Yungay, in the heart of the Andes. He has no choice, he must take the Canyon del Pato. A track full of ruts and potholes, bordered by impressive ravines. Just like Pedro, with his cement truck, who also has to cross the highest passes of the Cordillera Blanca. For three days, far from the big cities, he struggles with a succession of mechanical breakdowns on a hostile road. Precipices do not frighten him. He relies on God, just like these thousands of Indians, who each year go to the greatest pilgrimage in Latin America, the procession of the Senor of Quoylloriti. Insensitive to cold and fatigue, Indians of all ages, a cross on their backs, stuffed with amulets, climb a mountain over 5000 meters above sea level, to collect the protection of the gods. For 5 days and 5 nights, in minus 10 degrees, to the sound of bewitching music, they danced and prayed until they were exhausted.

Thank you for the documentary. I am a truck driver in Kentucky and this explains why the South American truckers are always good drivers. Thank you.

I love these documentaries. They remind of the old times when we used to watch these kind of narrative documentaries used to come on discovery channel and National geographic.

Well I've see deadliest journeys before. But this went above and beyond. It was wonderful to hear about the customs and beliefs. So fascinating. Thank you for this.

I love this most dangerous series and this particular narrator is my favourite, he really cracks me up sometimes! Such an interesting series and really puts the ease and luxury of North American life into perspective when I feel like things are tough and not going well.

I cant get enough of these shows. I remember when i was a child in the Philippines I was in a bus on a one car lane up a steep mountain. Now that im an adult in America, im all, they would never allow that over here! But the drive to make a living will make us do crazy, to us at least, things. Im sure we do normal to us but crazy to others too.
