We drive up into the high plains of Metraro and the community of Mariscal Caceres. This was the heartland of Frederick Stahl, the Seventh-day Adventist missionary and his legacy lives on.
We hear first hand about the last days of the Peruvian Colony from one of its last surviving workers, Elias, but we also hear about the Mishari Family and how the Asheninka organised and fought back to gain control of their land.
Finally, we persuade the chief to take us to the location of the secret cave of Juan Santos Atahualpa, buried with his gold over 200 years ago. The chief sets off on his motorbike to show us the way, and we give chase.
