Depressed and alone, he starts to sell clothes all across the Andes. One day he finds a lost girl in an Ecuadorian market. She asks him to walk her back to her house in a humble town near Lima. When they arrive, a group of huaqueros take him as a prisoner. Later, he realizes that it was all part of scheme designed by his father, Ruka. His father tells that him this little girl who took him there is in fact his lost daughter, but that he we won't give her back if Saywa doesn´t help him steal an old mummy near Uyuni.
