. Between Extremes: A Journey Beyond Imagination
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: Brian Keenan, John McCarthy
September 01, 2000
If this was just a travel book, it would be pretty mediocre fare. However, it isn't. The 'extremes' of the title are not merely those of Chile, but the personalities of two very different men welded together by the trauma and ordeal of their shared past. Similarly, the journey is 'beyond imagination' not because of the almost unimaginable landscape of the country, but because they spent hours in captivity, imagining the Journey (and a rather more bizarre 'Yak farm').
How can two such different human beings become so enmeshed and sensitive to the nuances of each other's thoughts and behaviour? Well, read "An Evil Cradling" and "Some Other Rainbow", and *then* read this book. Suddenly, the journey acquires hidden treasures behind ... Read More:

. In Trouble Again: A Journey Between the Orinoco and the Amazon
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: Redmond O'Hanlon
October 26, 1989
Redmond O'Hanlon takes himself (and us) on an incredible journey of exploration and adventure into the deepest outreaches of the Amazon jungle. A subtle blend of daring, courage and downright bloody-mindedness is conveyed in this enthralling account of travel well off the beaten track. O'Hanlon would appear to have the ideal characteristics of a twentieth century explorer - namely a sense of humour and a willingness to communicate on any level with any peoples, even the ferociously depicted Yanomami tribes of the great South American interior. He is not afraid to test his luck, to continue in the face of despair, to eat whatever is given to him! He is even given to dabble in the height of male Yanomami social pastime - an occasional snort of Yanomami ... Read More:

. Guyana
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
from: Hansib Publishing (Caribbean) Ltd
September 04, 2008
Long thought to have been the source of the El Dorado legend, and home of what was once the largest open-pit gold mine in South America, Guyana is quickly becoming a pioneer in wildlife conservation and ecotourism in South America. Birding trips near the capital of Georgetown can lead to the sighting of more than 50 varieties of birds in just an hour or two. The Kanuku Mountain sanctuary, inland, is home to more than three hundred fifty bird species, and the country as a whole is home to over eight hundred bird species. Well over two hundred mammal species, many of them unique, populate the three climate zones--forest, savannah, and coastal. To prevent the loss of habitats for these birds and mammals, some areas of the country are under government protection, ... Read More:

. At the Tomb of the Inflatable Pig: Travels Through Paraguay
City Travel Guides > Books > Central and South America
by: John Gimlette
February 05, 2004
Although the above review title is somewhat histronic & superlative, I stand by my words - this is a superb book & a real gem for anyone, Paraguay fans or not.
It is also the epitome of how a travel book should be written - completely unpretenious, always inviting the reader to join in their travels, rather than exclude them, so we can enjoy the privilege of travel, it brings alive the wonderfully eccentric country that is Paraguay, and focuses on the country and not the writer!
On top of that, it was insightful, very funny indeed, brilliant at not only painting a picture, but giving the historical background too - I have learnt more about one country in one book than I have in any book.
This book is a travel book, but is at least 6 biographies ... Read More:
