Some people risk their lives every day to feed their families. Between the desert and the Pacific Ocean in the Peruvian province of Huarmey, there are dizzying cliffs that men like Purunga have to conquer. In order to catch fish and shellfish, fishermen in this region take great risks. They have to climb down huge rock formations into the Pacific Ocean to reach the coveted prey. Purunga is one of them. Every day he crosses the desert to reach the ocean, using ropes and stakes to make the descent to the sea. It is a risky feat that has already cost several fishermen their lives. Purunga has also suffered several accidents. Especially when the waves are very strong, the catches are sometimes scarce. But Purunga knows that the next day he will climb back down the cliff and try his luck again. #dwdocumentary #documentary #pacific ـــــ DW Documentary brings you information beyond the headlines.
