Description
Patrick Leigh Fermor recounts his remarkable journey into the high Andes of Peru in 1971, accompanied by five friends and a diverse group of seasoned mountaineers. The expedition took them from Cuzco to Urubamba, Puno, Lake Titicaca, Arequipa, and finally back to Lima.
As they travelled through increasingly remote parts of the country, Fermor captured their experiences in a series of letters to his wife, conveying the excitement of discovery and the unique charm of the land. From the thrill of crossing glaciers to the sight of lone condors circling in the sky, Fermor's vivid writing brings the Andes to life.
