Meet the Drug Lords: Inside the Real Narcos

S01E03 Peru

Jason Fox journeys to Peru, venturing into the perilous foothills of the Andes, famously known as Cocaine Valley, where a staggering amount of cocaine is manufactured annually. In the dense jungle, under the cover of night, he encounters a legendary cocaine chef who operates a clandestine lab. After gathering intel, Jason must quickly escape, hiding in the back of a pick-up truck. He then teams up with a group of youthful drug mules on a perilous exit from the valley, and later, he joins an elite police unit in a helicopter mission to dismantle a jungle lab. However, with cartels constantly adapting, it raises the question of whether these efforts are truly effective.
