As Che and Alberto continued their journey from Chile they were lucky to haul down a Civil Guard who was driving Indians, human livestock, and they caught a ride. After entering Peru they soon realized that Peru was a country filled a majority with people in poverty. Some people they met as they arrived made reference to the wonderful Peron and Evita when they met Che and talked about his wonderful country Argentina and most seemed to be very FATALISTIC while expressing their feelings, very laid back and accepting of Che and Alberto. Che was a PARIAH but felt welcomed by most he had met. “As for ourselves, so cold we had forgotten we were also pariahs, without money, we ate a very modest meal and asked for one bed for the both of us” (124). Ernesto and Alberto began in the town of Tacna and then traveled towards the city of Cuzco where there lied ancient ruins and RELICS. These IDYLLIC remains from the Incans were appeasing to Che’s eyes and while passing these structures and pyramids he was in awe. Days later they arrived in Machu Picchu. While walking around and looking at the land they began to see it was very DESOLATE. The city that was once built of buildings was now just a bunch of EXACERBATE pieces of rubble on the ground. After leaving Machu Picchu, they continue their journey to Hucancarama. As they travel they loose some strength and begin to become hungry and poorer. Che and Alberto GLEAN as much food as they possibly can on their journey but it does not satisfy their stomachs. They then visit Hucancarama and there they watch as the BESTIAL settlers mistreat the Indians that live there. As they continue down their path, they ask many people for rides along the way but one that stood out was their ride in the back of a truck with about ten bulls. They sat on that truck in such an INDIGENCE state, so poor that they sat with bulls. Not only were they poor but also the cold was getting to them and caused some struggle. It was becoming freezing outside and the PERIPHERYof Che’s body was frozen to the touch. He then arrived in Andahuaylas and tried to talk to some people there. The whole time in Peru talking with people was hard because they Spanish they could speak were different and hard to understand causing their responses to be LACONIC.
