Lost civilizations of ancient Peru rediscovered.

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2016

This is a remarkable, vivid. adventurous tale of exploration in the mountains of Eastern Peru. As an armchair explorer of the unknown regions of the world, this book enlightened me and fascinated me immensely. I have visited Brazil, including the Amazon, Argentina, including Patagonia, Ecuador and Chile as well as parts of Peru. I never had the health or stamina to do even a small part of what Savoy has done. Beyond that, he has written a page-turner of a documentary record of his archeological findings and personal experiences. I have read other similarly themed books which were dryer than a Peruvian mummy and frankly very boring. Not so with this presentation.! Get educated as well as entertained by reading this book. I was appreciative of the maps included; I only wish there had been more.

Best book I ever read

Inspired me to go to Peru's remote zone for 26 years, 3 months each year. We discovered mummies and now 22 sarcophagus that look like Easter Island statues except smaller and way up on a cliff.

If you are interested in the Mayans and before, the migration, sailing and wars...this is an excellent account. I was surprised there was a "great wall of china" in Peru built by the early cultures. Easy read and enjoyable for the Mayanphite.

A Fascinating journey into the undiscovered parts of Peru

Reviewed in the United States on April 4, 2015

Verified Purchase

Extremely fascinating account of one man's lead in rediscovering lost cities of many different cultures in Peru. most of us know of the Incas, but few know of the many cultures in Peru that were conquered by the Incas or the Spaniards. This book gives an account of the journeys including the hiring of cub plans, porters, local guides and dealing with the local authorities. In addition to the many descriptions of the towns discovered 'this one surpasses Machu Picchu....' are stories of the animals, insects, local religious beliefs and snakes (the author was bitten by one and almost lost a leg). A good book. Not great. just good. I am glad I read this and grateful the writer conducted this series of explorations. time to go to Peru!

A good account of something many of us have dreamed of.

Reviewed in the United States on April 23, 2002

I grew up dreaming of discovering lost cities. I was somewhat able to live out this dream by reading Antisuyo. It is a great account of the hardships and rewards that come as being an explorer and an adventurer. Antisuyo is hard to find, but if you can find it, buy it.

Gene Savoy was one of a kind, which you may understand if you know or have read much about his life. The Andean travels, explorations, and discoveries covered in these accounts captivated me when I first read the book at my Uncle's house as a boy. It was a thrill to find this used copy and read it again.
