Two months into her journey and well into the high mountains of northern Peru, Karin meets a sorcerer - a man with the power to cure ills and see into the future. She takes the opportunity to participate with him in an all-night healing ceremony, which requires drinking San Pedro cactus juice and snorting liquid tobacco. Continuing on to the Chachapoyas, Peru’s new archaeological frontier, Karin befriends a local farmer who offers to be her guide. She discovers that most ruins of ancient Chachapoya civilization reside in the cliffs - hundreds of burial chambers, each containing a mummy. Proceeding the Peru’s capital at Lima, Karin finds a modern metropolis where the word “Inca” seems to have become little more than advertising jargon used to sell goods. She arrives in Lima on the eve of the Lord of Milagros procession - the largest religious gathering in all of Peru. There’s never a dull moment along the Inca road, as Karin deals with unexpected twists and turns that add humor and dimension to her unique story.

Mesoamerica. About 13000 years before the time of Christ a consortium of autonomous city/kingdoms developed and flourished in a region now mapped as southern Mexico, Belize, Guatemala, and Honduras. They thrived until around the fifteenth century AD, leaving behind astounding monuments to the energy, industry, and ingenuity of their populations. They built temples rivaling those of Egypt, not as large, but more extensive; and they used a calendar more accurate than our own. Today, the descendants of those ancient Maya still populate this same region of Central America; many are still farmers and ranchers. In some areas, Mennonite farmers have laid claim to the land and are making it productive in their own way. In Belize, which is an English-speaking country, only German is spoken in one Mennonite colony. They are cool to outsiders, and also seem to have preserved some sense of still being in the nineteenth century; they travel by horse and buggy or carriage - or walk. A bride and groom may receive a new handmade buggy as a cherished wedding gift. In the highlands of Guatemala, ancient rituals are still practiced, where chickens are sacrificed, rather than humans, to old Mayan deities. Christian beliefs are often mixed with those ancient and obscure practices in quixotic ways; sometimes on mountaintops, sometimes on the steps of a cathedral. Copan, in Honduras, was found buried in the jungle in the 1830's; it is a magnificent complex of temples underlain by recently discovered tunnels. Here we find the great Hieroglyphic Stairway of Copan, which is perhaps the largest single text in the world, certainly the longest text from pre-Columbian America. The Barrier Reef of the Caribbean, along the eastern shore of Belize, is a contrast to the ancient Mayan world. Submerged with the fish, we get a chance to see a surprising variety of underwater life that thrives here, even though the reef itself faces a list of threats to its very existence. Lastly, modern cities contrast with remote villages, and both are part of this thriving world today that has emerged from a jungle beginning.
