BY THE AUTHOR OF WALKING THE HIMALAYAS, WINNER OF THE 2016 EDWARD STANFORD ADVENTURE TRAVEL BOOK OF THE YEAR AWARD

'Levison Wood has breathed new life into adventure travel.' Michael Palin

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 most raw, real and exciting journeys of his life.

A really enjoyable and insightful adventure tale as Wood and his companion Roberto hike across central america. They come up against hostile terrain and a variety of environments both urban and wild. Additionally we see first hand the impact of the migrant crisis in the Americas. Some really good observations are made across the journey about the cultures, peoples and the history of the region and the impact Europeans have had on the area.

Very good and clear narration.

Enjoyable adventure story

This is an excellent story of an epic journey. I had seen the television series narrated by the author and really enjoyed it. I was looking forward to the audio book.

I found the narration disappointing. Levison Wood has a distinctive voice that works very well and it sounded like Barnaby was trying to do an impression of him. It just didn’t work for me.

I still listened to the whole book and found it enjoyable but just wish the narrator had either been Levison or the chap that did the Nile book.

A great story but I couldn’t warm to the narrator

Well read. Great attention to mind set, emotion and environment. Incredible achievement. Felt like I could imagine being on a majority of the journey.
