Hopscotch Peru is now the world's main supplier of coca, the raw plant material used to manufacture cocaine. In the last five years, coca production has grown the most in the tri-border region, an area deep in the Amazon where Colombia, Brazil and Peru meet.
Read more ... The tri-border region also happens to be home to a messianic sect with apocalyptic beliefs whose members dress in biblical robes. Known as "Israelites," the religious group migrated to the Peruvian Amazon in 1995 in search of a promised land that's now infested with coca plantations.
They live in the rainforest, till the land and follow a strict interpretation of the Old Testament. On Saturday, they offer animal sacrifices to God; in their churches, men and women sit separately. And just like religious Jews, they close their shops to observe the day of rest every Friday, at 6:15 PM. They live close enough to the equator that the sun sets at almost the same time year-round.
Deep in the Peruvian Amazon, the Christian sect known as the "Evangelical Israelite Mission of the New Universal Covenant" follows a mix of Pentecostalism, Judaism and Inca traditions and is dedicated to building what they call a New Israel.
The sect was founded in the 1950s by a Peruvian shoemaker named Ezequiel Gamonal after he claimed to receive a revelation that Peru was the new Jerusalem, and Peruvians were the new Israelites.
In 1968, the Peruvian government officially recognized the group as a religious movement. Around that time, the sect founded a political party called the Agricultural People’s Front of Peru (Frepap), with the slogan “Power to the Farmer.”
