Journeying from sleepy barrios to glamourous cities to Mayan ruins lying unexcavated in the wilderness, Wood forges new relationships along the way that stand at the heart of this book--and the personal histories, cultures, and popular legends he discovers paint a riveting history of Mexico and Central America. While contending with the region's natural obstacles, he partakes in family meals with local hosts, learns to build an emergency shelter, and witnesses the surreal beauty of the landscapes. Finally, Wood attempts to cross one of the world's most impenetrable borders: The Darién Gap from Panama into south America, a notorious smuggling passage and the wildest jungle he has ever navigated."--Jacket flap.   Copy/Holding information Location Collection Call No. Status   Hawaii State Library Language, Literature & History 917.28 Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Hilo Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.28 Wood Checked In Add Copy to MyList McCully-Moiliili Public Library Adult Biography B Wood Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList Nanakuli Public Library Adult Nonfiction 917.28 Wo Checked In Add Copy to MyList
