In the highland town of Yungay, only 4 palm trees, a statue of Christ, and the cemetery area were all that remained. Every other part of Yungay was buried under the landslide, coming down at speeds of 190 km/h (120 mph). Ironically, the cemetery remained intact and anyone who managed to climb up to it survived, as it is the highest point in the area.
Emily Bloor, a British travel blogger, visited the town of Yungay and returned with vivid photographs depicting the beauty of Yungay. Looking at them today gives no clues to what happened there just several decades ago.
