From the cold highlands of Andamarca, a man began his journey toward the deep green of Pangoa. He crossed paths where the mountains slowly dissolve into the jungle; among mist-covered slopes and rivers that sing as they run over stone, he found a difterent place, one that united both worlds. They called it the nter-Andean zone, where the chill of the Andes and the humid warmth of the Amazon coexist.
