Reseña del editor:
This Andean frolic involves Dervla Murphy, her nine-year-old daughter Rachel and Juana, an elegant mule, who together clambered the entire length of Peru. Beginning on the Peruvian border with Ecuador, the eight feet of mule, child and Dervla Murphy walked and rode to Cuzco, the ancient Inca capital, over 1300 miles to the south. With only the most basic necessities to sustain them, the intrepid journey was marked by extreme discomfort, occasional danger and even the temporary loss of Juana over a precipice. Yet mother and daughter alike were unflagging in their sympathetic response to the perilous beauty and impoverished people of the Andes.
Contraportada:

The eight feet belong to Dervla Murphy, her nine-year-old daughter Rachel and Juana, an elegant mule, who together clambered the length of Peru, from Cajamarca on the border with Ecuador, to Cuzco, the ancient Inca capital, over 1300 miles to the south. With only the most basic necessities to sustain them and spending most of their time above 10,000 feet, their journey was marked by extreme discomfort, occasional danger and even the temporary loss of Juana over a precipice. Yet mother and daughter, a formidable duo, were unflagging in their sympathetic response to the perilous beauty and impoverished people of the Andes.

“This is the best account I have read of travel on foot in the Andes. Other writers have walked through Peru and described their experiences, but without the appreciation for scenery and people and the sheer enjoyment of the journey that makes Dervla Murphy one of our outstanding travel writers”
TRAVELLER

“Miss Murphy is always an honest and endearing companion, so stout of heart and physique that she almost belittles her achievement”
SUNDAY TELEGRAPH

“This adventure is one of Miss Murphy’s best. She remains her humorous, modest, self-mocking self”
DAVID HOLLOWAY, 'Daily Telegraph'

“There is nothing so dramatic as mountains rising sheer from the plain ... and Ms Murphy responds with more than the routine rapture of the professional travel writer”
CHRISTOPHER WORDSWORTH, 'Observer'

“A tone of exuberance and generosity dominates the book ... The reader’s admiration is boundless”
CAROLINE MOOREHEAD, 'Spectator'
