About this audiobook
YAUYOS AND HUAROCHIRÍ ARE TWO PROVINCES IN THE DEPARTMENT OF LIMA THAT THE HOLY SEE SEPARATED IN 1957 FROM THE ARCHDIOCESE OF THE PERUVIAN CAPITAL TO ESTABLISH THEM AS A PRELATURA NULLIUS. AT OVER 4,000 METERS ABOVE SEA LEVEL, WITH PEAKS REACHING 6,000, IT WAS A VAST TERRITORY THAT HAD TO BE RESCUED FROM CENTURIES OF NEGLECT AND TURNED INTO A DIOCESE LIKE ANY OTHER. THE POPE ENTRUSTED THIS TASK TO OPUS DEI.
A HANDFUL OF PRIESTS, LED BY THEIR BISHOP (IGNACIO ORBEGOZO), CARRIED OUT THEIR MISSION OF SERVICE THERE, RIDING BEASTS OF BURDEN THROUGH THE HARSHNESS OF A RUGGED LAND. SAMUEL VALERO WAS ONE OF THEM, AND HE RECOUNTS WHAT HE SAW AND LIVED IN HIS SURPRISING AND EPIC ADVENTURE IN THE ANDES.
