Synopsis

With little more than backpacks and desire for adventure, Mark Mann and two friends set out on an expedition through Ecuador, Bolivia, and Colombia, submerging themselves in Latin culture. Through dense forests, daunting mountains, and pristine beaches, the trio makes its way in a drug-induced haze. Soon the drugs become an all-consuming addiction that changes the lives of Mann and his friends forever. This is an engaging travelogue and frank memoir evokes the magical realism of South American literature. Darkly comic, ultimately shocking, and packed with astute observations.” Geographical

Review:

'...it isn't just a story of three gringos getting high across South America. In this novel there are musings on imperialism, mysticism, geography and anthropology...you feel as if you're on a journey with someone who cares deeply about the world and our place in it. With its thoughtful descriptions of nature and its pondering of our relationship to it, The Gringo Trail will no doubt give many readers a serious dose of wanderlust.' We Love This Book
