TRAVEL WINGS: AN ADVENTURE

Join me and eleven plucky strangers from five different countries who speak no one language in common as they band together in a trek down the eastern face of the Andes in load trucks and enter the heart of Manu National Park in Peru by canoe. If you love "Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy," you will be happy to find that restaurant at the end of the universe, but right here on planet earth. For the totally foolhardy, this book will serve as a great survival guide.

MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK

Manu National Park is a virgin rain forest about the size of Rhode Island. Visitors are only allowed in the multiple use section that borders the eastern edge of the park, and a small section that surrounds the confluence of the Rivers Manu and Madre de Dios. The rest of the park is sanctuary for native tribes that have no connection whatsoever with outsiders, though they've been sighted from air. Unesco claimed the park "A World Heritage" site in 1987, and it is internationally recognized as one of the most biodiverse areas on Earth. It has preserved its flora and fauna because this remote site at the foot of the Andes is so difficult to reach.
