"TRAVEL MADE FICTION SOUTH AMERICA BY AIR"
is the seventh book in Mark Curran's "Adventure Travel" series. It combines real life history, culture and
tourism with an at times humorous fictional account of travelers and staff of AT on the trip. There
are ten parts, like the Greek Epic. Travel is to Peru, Buenos Aires, Uruguay, Iguacu, Rio de Janeiro,
Salvador da Bahia, Manaus, Bogota, Cartagena de Indias and Isla San Andres in the Caribbean.
Mike and Amy Gaherty, now married, lead the way with logistics and cultural introductions to
the travels. In its totality, the book indeed is an epic of travel with highlights of places and peoples
of South America. Richly illustrated with the author's photos, it could also be a coffee table book
with vivid color images. The book harks back to travel over 50 years to Latin America and Curran's
classes teaching about it.
