ABOUT THE BOOK

In May 1982 three young kiwi travellers set out to explore South America on their own terms with no other knowledge of this wild and mysterious continent than that gleaned from the travel ‘bible’ of the day – The South American Handbook.

Unbeknownst to them, their adventure began in a time that has been lost to the annals of travel history; a world with no internet and no instant communication.
