About the Book
On this journey we explore one of the world’s most dramatic and ethereally beautiful mountain ranges: the Andes.
Setting off from the cosmopolitan capital of Argentina, Buenos Aires, we head northwest to the colonial city of Salta below the foothills of the Andes. Then we climb a lonely, precipitous road which crosses the icy plain into Chile.
From San Pedro we traverse the Atacama Desert, the driest place on earth, past active volcanic geysers and snow-capped volcanoes and then cross iridescent salt flats into Bolivia.
Skirting the azure waters of Lake Titicaca, we crossed the chilly plains of the Altiplano before descending into the fertile valleys surrounding the ancient Inca capital of Cusco.
We then travel by train to the astonishing Inca citadel of Machu Picchu and finally end our journey in Lima.
