Dismantling of the Pachacutec Front of Cuzco

In October 1965, the Pachacutec Front of Cuzco, part of the Revolutionary Left Movement (MIR) led by Luis de la Puente Uceda, was practically disbanded. This guerrilla front had initiated actions in 1965, its main action being the ambush against a police detachment in the Yahuarina ravine at the beginning of that year. The dismantling of the front included the death of its leader Luis de la Puente Uceda. This event was part of the second guerrilla moment in the southern Andean region, which sought to give continuity to the peasant movement that had reached its peak in the region.
