This documentary was made by the American Dodge Company in 1948-49 in order to promote the toughness of their trucks to North American, South American and Australian viewers. We see here rare scenes of Cuzco, Sacsayhuaman and other megalithic areas of Peru, Bolivia and other parts of South America.
