		The Huallaga (also known as the Guallaga and Rio de los Motilones), which joins the Amazon river to the west of the Ucayali, rises high among the mountains, in about 10 degrees 40' southern latitude, on the northern slopes of the celebrated Cerro de Pasco[?].
		To this point, 140 miles from the Amazon, the Huallaga can be ascended by large river steamers.
		Between the Huallaga and the Ucayali lies the famous "Pampa del Sacramento[?]," a level region of stoneless alluvial lands covered with thick, dark forests, first entered by the missionaries in 1726.

		Huallaga's acidic soil nurtures coca bushes with leaves containing extremely potent alkaloids that are the active ingredient in cocaine.
		In the Huallaga Valley, farmers trying to evade the army and police moved further into the rain forests, creating an ecological disaster zone in the region adjacent to the Cordillera Azul.
		If Huallaga farmers decide to go back to raising coca, however, they are fast running out of enough tillable land in the valley to do it--raising concerns that they might turn to the forests of the Cordillera Azul.

	Río Huallaga
		At 4000 meters the road crosses a bridge over the lower reaches of the Sharpa Gorge, which is the birth of the Huallaga River.
		When we crossed this point in July the flow was a mere trickle and was not runnable for the next 21 km (1000 meters vertical meters of elevation drop) as the river passed through a series of man made obstacles including tunnels and dams.
		After only 15 minutes we touched down in Tingo Maria to pick up passengers and were surprised by how large and clear the river had become.

	Insight on the News: Drug production creates an ecological nightmare - pesticides used to cultivate cocaine in Peru
		Viewed from an airplane flying over the Huallaga River Valley in eastern Peru, the emerald carpet of this part of the Amazon basin is scarred by ugly fl, gray and brown swaths.
		Armstead believes the Huallaga region's coca cultivators "are rapidly eliminating one of the most genetically prosperous ecosystems of the entire Amazon River basin." Devastating floods in November 1987 that killed scores of people in the valley were caused in part by hillsides sliding into rivers after being stripped by coca growers.
		Coca growing in the Huallaga Valley is inextricably linked to the guerrilla war between the Shining Path and the Peruvian military and police.

		Most of this activity is directed to the Upper Huallaga valley, in the central jungle of Peru, where Sendero Luminoso has established a strong base.
		This view stems from the mistaken assumption that guerrillas and drug traffickers in the Upper Huallaga are allied.
		Sendero thus does not so much have an alliance with the drug traffickers as it maintains an uneasy working relationship with them, in an area where the authority of the state is almost non-existent.

		AID support for the police was renewed in the 1980s in the Upper Huallaga Area Development Project and the Control and Reduction of Coca Cultivation in the Upper Huallaga Project; the AID assistance was part of the United States government's effort to control coca production and cocaine-paste trafficking.

		The Western Huallaga River province is about half covered by moist to wet montane forests, with the lower elevations originally dominated by dry to moist premontane and lowland forests.
		The areas most transformed are the lower elevations of the Western Huallaga River and Urubamba River physiographic provinces; the middle elevations of the Chachapoyan province; and the higher elevations of the Tambo River province (much of which has long been deforested and used in highland agronomic and animal-husbandry systems).
		Large development projects in the 1960s and 1970s in the Huallaga Valley and Tingo María-Pucallpa area left a poorly designed and maintained highway system, deforestation and social conditions conducive to turning the area into what is now the world's leading supplier of the illegal coca leaves, which are processed into cocaine (Morales 1989).
