Max Chura Mamani is a descendant of the doctors of the Incan kings who ruled the Andes prior to the Spanish conquest.
His extended scientific knowledge of over 1,000 medicinal plants is astonishing.
In his garden lying at an altitude of 3,000 meters, he passes his medicinal wisdom on to Johnny, his adopted son and young disciple. Together, they will travel on foot from village to village to treat the ill.
