Chiclayo
– Occasional
swaths of green cut through the desert of northern Peru brought by the
rivers that bring the runoff from the high Andes to the Pacific Ocean.
This is incredibly fertile land - if you can get water to it. Since the
arrival of the Spanish in the 15th century, these fertile valleys have
produced sugar and history of the country can ignore the effect of this
crop and the industry that supports it. But it is an industry in peril
today as worldwide economic forces have begun to turn against it’s
traditional largesse.
