Traveling through the barren desert, Che and Alberto finally achieved the TEDIOUS task of hitching a ride to the ALLURING city of Cuzco. This, I find was the most important area of focus. Che seems to find the MESTIZOS a completely defeated race; a race with the DAUNTING task of finding their place in society and accepting themselves. Che and Alberto could see it in their faces.
They then reached Machu Picchu a very PLACID view. A place where the Natives hid from the TIRADE Spaniards and lived the last of their days. It was the only city that was not RAZED by the SPANIARDS. The two friends then travel to a large city where they use the letter Alberto has to get to the leper colony. They are given horses and a guide who has the ABHORRENT task of carrying all of their things. When they reach the colony, they are treated well. However, the facilities there are not so great. To me, the sanitary conditions would only EXACERBATE the condition the lepers were already in. I think the Natives and the Lepers has a huge impact on Che and maybe helped him to feel for the people less fortunate than him.
