At the end of the 70’s a revolutionary movement arose in the highlands of Peru. (the shining path) They were taking action in small towns and cities around the mountains causing a lot of damage and violence in those already forgotten lands. People in such places scared and in need of finding a more comfortable future, set on a journey towards the big richer cities in the coast. Masses found themselves looking to settle down in the surroundings of cities like Lima, in the desert. The so called “pueblos jovenes” were born and with it came an explosion in the city’s demography and a substantial social and cultural change.
