A good account of something many of us have dreamed of. April 23, 2002
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I grew up dreaming of discovering lost cities. I was somewhat able to live out this dream by reading Antisuyo. It is a great account of the hardships and rewards that come as being an explorer and an adventurer. Antisuyo is hard to find, but if you can find it, buy it.

This has a lot of pictures so it is not very detailed about South American exploration. Nevertheless, it is very interesting and a good book for any backpackers in Peru to have. He gives a good feel for what an expedition is like and the preparatory drudgery that is involved. He covers no less than seven different expeditions. Some are covered in two sentences because he only discovered that nothing was in the explored area. But when he discovers the lost cities, you want to start exploring yourself and, because of the pictures, you feel that you are there. In general, the more you know about Peruvian exploration, the more interesting you will find this book. If you don't know anything about Peruvian archaeology and exploration, this is a good place to start.
