South America is a continent of contrasts. Snow-capped peaks and tropical wildernesses. Vast pampa and arid deserts. Widespread poverty and concentrated wealth. Pre-Colombian temples and colonial churches. The Pachamama and Christianity. Abundant fruits and psychedelic plants. European modernity and Indigenous pride. Honourable people and violent criminals. Fiesta and sorrow. It is 1994: the internet and mobile phones do not exist and independent travel remains a true adventure. Following his trailblazing 1991 exploration of the continent, Tightwad Economist is back in South America to graze again on its magnetic and magnificent delights. This time he is joined by his long-time philosophizing errant amigo from small-town regional Australia, Bold Punter, and his enthusiastic brother Red Pibe, as they seek spirituality and scenery, language and learning, hikes and hallucinations, solidarity and sustenance, alcohol and affection. But what is the meaning of the quest? Why just keep travelling? One thing remains true; the less you spend the longer you travel. If the answer has not been found, then there is no option but to keep foraging for greener pastures.
