Purunga

There are men on this planet who challenge death every day to feed their families and their souls. Between the desert and the Pacific Ocean, in the region of Huarmey in Peru, the vertiginous cliffs are the gateway to a world where nature preveils, a world of adrenaline and brute force which they are part of.
