About This Book

A prolonged overland narrative recounts a chiefly pedestrian journey from Panama to Buenos Aires through Andean and adjacent regions, blending episodic travel tales with practical route detail and landscape description. It advocates walking as a means to reach ordinary people and to penetrate social hierarchies and caste barriers that shape local interactions. Interwoven reflections address physical hardship and the satisfactions of effort, everyday logistics in remote districts, and photographic and cartographic supplements that document scenes and routes.
