Trip into old and new Yungay

We hiked down from Kusi to the site of the original town of Yungay. The town was covered by a landslide resulting from an earthquake in 1970. We toured the ruins and visited the memorial for those lost.

Then we hiked in to the new Yungay for a snack at the cafe run by Scott and Julia from Kusi. Angel's and Rosa's son works in the cafe, and the chef is one of the young men who grew up in Kusi!!
