About this listen
Sunday Times top 10 best seller by the author of Walking the Himalayas, winner of the 2016 Edward Stanford Adventure Travel Book of the Year award.
Walking the Americas chronicles Levison Wood's 1,800 mile trek along the spine of the Americas, through eight countries, from Mexico to Colombia, experiencing some of the world's most diverse, beautiful and unpredictable places.
His journey took him from violent and dangerous cities to ancient Mayan ruins lying still unexplored in the jungles of Mexico and Guatemala. He encountered members of indigenous tribes, migrants heading towards the US border and proud Nicaraguan revolutionaries on his travels, where at the end of it all, he attempted to cross one of the most impenetrable borders on earth: the Darien Gap route from Panama into South America. This trek required every ounce of Levison Wood's guile, tact, strength and resilience in one of the rawest, most real and most exciting journeys of his life.

a great story through the jungles of the americas
Shame levison was not narrating this. The fill in was good but its better if levison did it himself. His other books read by him was much better. You can hear the grit and the emotion when he reads it himself as he recalls the memory. The stand in was good but not great.
A great story on the history of the America's. However the emphasis on the key themes didnt have a strong correlation to the initial components of the journey. Hence the end of the journey did not correlate to the inspiration for this quest.
always a good history lesson at the start.
