Publisher's Synopsis
Lydia Laube, one of the world's dauntless, intrepid travellers, is off to South America in search of the sun. Poncho in hand, braving hair-raising mountainous tracks, bandits, immigration officials, jungle beasts and third-world dentists, she ventures through Mexico, down the Panama Canal, along the coast of Colombia, and into Peru, Bolivia and Brazil. Lydia explores the last hideaway of the Incas, Machu Picchu, and, fulfilling a lifelong dream, sails down the mighty Amazon to the Atlantic.
