Travel Wings

The author challenges readers to find their own "travel wings" in this humorous account of a trip to one of the largest remaining virgin rain forests in the Amazon basin. Join her and 10 plucky strangers from 5 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.
