In reply to Alex. Just read your review, sorry for the multiple comments! I will definitely be checking out Headhunters. If you're into the adventure mixed with history while still being funny style of travel writing I'd recommend The Lost City of Z. It's pretty fascinating and a great read.

In reply to Frank. I actually read this book ON THE TRAIL and it was the perfect thing to drift to sleep to every night! As for Troost, did you read Headhunters on my Doorstep yet? It just came out -- it was my last review in this series! Check out my post for my thoughts on his third :)

In reply to Caroline. Glad you aren't getting sick of South America! I know sometimes readers get sick of reading about a place before I get sick of being in it :)

In reply to Sarah Somewhere. Ha, I can imagine mailing from Peru to Mexico would put the postal system to the test :)

This is such a great book! I really wish I had read it BEFORE going to Machupicchu, it’s got such great information as you pointed out, written in a very humorous way. I’m also a J. Maarten Troost fan and cannot wait when/if he puts out another book, humorous travel writing I find to be the most entertaining.

Have a great time in Peru!

Thanks for the recommendation. I also really like The Celestine Prophecy for Peru as well!

Sounds like a good read for Peru – I’m loving your coverage on South America. I’m hoping to make it there really soon!

In reply to Alex. Dude, I wish, but the postal system of Mexico must be the worst in the world. I haven't entered for this reason alone :-)
