Produktbeschreibung
Featuring appalling rock overhangs, horrifying chasms, and waterfalls flanked by near-vertical precipices, this tale of travel through the wildest regions of the Andes is no Caribbean cruise story. The Panama Canal and the coasts of Columbia, Peru, and Bolivia are all described in a fast, furious fashion by a seasoned travel writer who survives a car ride along a mountain pass that claims an average of one vehicle a week. Also included are adventures to the last hideaway of the Incas, Machu Picchu, and a sail down the Amazon to the center of Brazil.
Lydia Laube, one of the world's dauntless, intrepid travellers, is off to South America in search of the sun. Poncho in hand, braving hair-raising mountainous tracks, bandits, immigration officials, jungle beasts and third-world dentists, she ventures through Mexico, down the Panama Canal, along the coast of Colombia, and into Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. Lydia explores the last hideaway of the Incas, Machu Picchu, and, fulfilling a lifelong dream, sails down the mighty Amazon to the Atlantic.
