Let's go walking, Chincha!

Desi, on the right is the son of the pastor we are staying with, took us around a community called Tambo de Mora. This community is still pretty much in ruins. Desi told us there was a Catholic church here that was having mass when the earthquake hit, and all 300 people died when the old building collapsed.
This is what used to be several homes in Tambo de Mora. Most of Tambo de Mora lives in small homes made of tarps like these.A wall that was split down the middle by the earthquake
