Wood walks through the historical core of the Americas-Central America. The Nile was a highly specific route-following the river from source to sea the Himalayas were more diffuse, offering Wood a range of route options, so that he could string together a series of particularly interesting locations the “Americas” starts with broad choice in the north, and narrows down to some severely limited options in the south. You can find my review of Walking The Himalayas here. Walking the Americas recounts the story of Levison Wood’s third epic walking journey-a successor to Walking the Nile and Walking the Himalayas, and a companion volume to the Channel 4 TV series of the same name. I’ve found on these long expeditions that there sometimes comes a point when you grow tired of walking.
