During their travel, Guevara and Granado encounter the poverty and suffering of the lower classes of society while the rich live ignorantly in their high life-styles away from the problems. They meet a couple who have had their land taken away from them by the landowners, and the exploited workers of a mine. In Peru, they volunteer for three weeks at the San Pablo leper colony. There, Guevara sees both physically and metaphorically the division of society between the people and the rulers (the staff live on the south side of a river, separated from the lepers living on the north).
These encounters with injustice change the way Guevara sees the world, and by implication motivate his later political activities. Guevara makes his "final journey" one night when he chooses to swim across the river that separates the two societies of the leper colony and spends the night in a leper shack instead of in the comfortable cabins of the doctors.
