Customer Reviews

Amazingly funny!

This book captures spirit that is backpacking across Peru. It is probably better if you have visited the country at least once before you read the book, just so you will understand the little things that Parris points out. However, if you have been in the country for any amount of time at all, this book will remind you of every experience you had there. A wonderfully written book!

An absolute must!

This book has to be one of the best books written about life in Peru. If you never wanted to go there before - you will now!

Bag it..

It's insightful and witty, but above all very funny. Definitely one of the better travel books i've read in a long time. Do not let that funky title deter you; Its part of the book's inner charm
