One of the Piura Andes' most significant crops is experiencing a continuous falling.  CANCHAQUE, Peru - The bus that goes up to Huancabamba City still stops in Palambla to have lunch if climbs up or santa Rosa if goes down, and during the minutes awaiting for the doors of the vehicle to get open again, there is still some time to walk around and to see some stuff the locals offer on sale to the travelers.
