Bøger om Ecuador

IND I SYDAMERIKA er en meget personlig rejseskildring blandet med en mængde historiske oplysninger. Forfatteren rejser rundt i Sydamerika i adskillige måneder og skyr ingen anstrengelser for at komme tæt på steder og mennesker. Desuden kaster han sig ud i det ene halsbrækkende eventyr efter det andet. Han bestiger bjerge i Ecuador, tager på riverrafting i Peru og kører på cykel ned ad smalle, stejle bjergveje i Bolivia. I Brasilien oplever han det berømte karneval i Rio, bliver bestjålet på åben gade og er lige ved at blive smidt ud af landet som illegal indvandrer. Også i Argentina og Uruguay får han spændende oplevelser og møder mennesker fra alverdens lande.Undervejs får læseren en masse at vide om landenes historie lige fra forhistoriske kulturer over Inkarigets storhed og fald og 1800-tallets løsrivelsesbevægelser og krige til den seneste tids økonomiske og politiske udvikling.Bogens budskab er klart: Rejs ud og oplev verden, mens du kan. Du vil ikke være den samme bagefter.
