{"product_id":"journal-of-a-south-american-honorio-lisboa-neto-9781764033534","title":"Journal of a South American Odyssey","description":"A Backpacking Journey through South America in the 1970s Imagine travelling through Bolivia and Peru with very little money, no internet, no mobile phone, no tour guides and no reservations - just dusty roads, handwritten postcards, plenty of curiosity and an unshakeable spirit of adventure. That is what I set out to do in the mid-1970s, and this book - based on the notes I kept during the journey - has become a portrait of a world that no longer exists. Here are some of the experiences you'll find inside: - Visiting Machu Picchu as the only person there. Exploring other peaceful and solitary ruins of ancient civilisations, free from today's restrictions and mass tourism. - The thrill of hitching rides on trucks, travelling through steep mountains along narrow unpaved roads without guardrails - trusting the drivers' skill and relying on luck. - Life inside a Bolivian silver mine - where harsh and unsafe conditions revealed the miners' tough reality. - The floating islands of Lake Titicaca - before they became a tourist attraction. - A quiet Bolivian town on the lake's shore, with no cars, where time seemed to stand still. This book is more than just a travel account - it is a mix of personal stories, cultural encounters and reflections on a South America that has been transformed forever. If you have ever dreamt of travel, history and authentic adventure, this book will take you there.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Honorio Lisboa Neto\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1764033531\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781764033534\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Lisboa Adventures Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 09\/11\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 198\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.50h x 5.50w x 0.54d","brand":"Honorio Lisboa Neto","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48437554807039,"sku":"9781764033534","price":26.15,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_85bfa5a3-35f8-4412-a8e6-95f4c26bb3d6.jpg?v=1777162592","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/journal-of-a-south-american-honorio-lisboa-neto-9781764033534","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
