Barranca

Barranca was a Peruvian guide, who in 1936, along with Satipo and several porters, helped guide Indiana Jones to the Hovito Idol cave in Peru. When they reached a pond, Jones stopped to review a map he had kept secret from his guides. Seeing the map, Barranca attempted to silently draw his pistol and cocked it. Indy's keen hearing sensed the weapon being primed and Indy used his bullwhip to disarm his traitorous guide. Without his pistol, Barranca fled into the jungle.

While Indiana Jones and Satipo were inside the Temple of the Chachapoyan Warriors, Barranca encountered René Belloq and his group of Hovitos. He may have led Belloq and his men to the cave entrance, where he was killed by the poisonous darts of the Hovitos. After Indy escaped from the cave with the Chachapoyan Fertility Idol, Indy saw his former guide's body fall to the jungle floor, his back riddled with darts.
