Walking the Americas

1,800 Miles, Eight Countries, and One Incredible Journey from Mexico to Colombia

New Hardback Illustrated

Postscript summary

Escaping the chaotic refurbishment of his new London home, Levison Wood sets out to walk the length of Central America with his Mexican friend Alberto. The four-month trek follows the migrant routes in reverse, through mountains and rainforests, impoverished barrios and bustling cities. Sharing family meals with local people, he learns about their lives, legends and cultures, before crossing the forbidding jungle of the Darién Gap into Colombia.
