A Classic 1987 Edition Wilderness Travelogue Through 1950s South America

Acclaimed naturalist and author Peter Matthiessen records a 20,000-mile expedition through the South American wilderness in late 1959. Traveling by riverboat, dugout canoe, and on foot, Matthiessen crossed the Amazon wilderness, the High Andes of Peru, the Mato Grosso, and the windswept fjords of Tierra del Fuego.

His journal records encounters with indigenous tribes, remote homesteaders, and rare wildlife, offering a vivid natural history record of South America's untamed ecosystems before modern industrial development.

Why You’ll Love This Book

Peter Matthiessen brings lyrical prose and masterly environmental reporting to South American wilderness travel. Essential reading for fans of classic nature writing, Amazonian expeditions, and South American history.
