San Pablo, Peru - Journey of Ernesto "Che" Guevara: "The Motorcycle Diaries" (sitios de interés)

The travelers remain here from June 8-20, 1952. After spending two days sailing down the river, they arrived at the Leprosy colony in San Pablo. There they met a Dr. Bresciani, who was the head of the colony. They were very well taken care of while they were there, and spent lots of time seeing what the area had to offer. They played lots of soccer, visited a tribe of Yaguas, and spent lots of time observing the colony. Once again the Lepers gave them a very nice farewell, and were sad to see them go. They built a raft and continued to sail down the Amazon.

This is what the leper colony would have looked like.
