Description
"No previous writer has given so comprehensive a picture of Peru, combining with animated sketches of life and manners, a fund of valuable information on natural history and commerce" (from the preface by Thomasina Ross, who also translated the work from the original German). Von Tschudi conducted a zoological expedition in the lesser known parts of Peru. He was the first European to travel to much of the wilder parts and record his experiences.
