The Andes Across Peru and South America's Highest Rail Line
Uncle Ray describes Peru's railway crossing the Andes rising nearly three miles above sea level, with Indian villages and fruit sellers at stations. He notes the Andes as the New World's tallest mountains, including Mount Aconcagua, and explains snow, glaciers, volcanoes, and fjords along the range. He covers mineral wealth, Inca gold legends, Lake Guatavila, and a call for a leaflet on Mexico with a request for a 3 cent stamp enclosure.
