Peru is considered to be the largest cocaine producer at all. It is estimated that hundreds of tons of the drug are manufactured in secret laboratories each year and then exported around the world.

He meets coca farmers, unscrupulous drug smugglers and the military who risk their lives in the fight against the "Narcotráfico".
