Itinerary: principal stops
Prologue
An almost ill-fated departure
The pampa of the Ranqueles
The perfect exploitation machine
In Araucania
More calamities: volunteer firemen
Farewell to “Poderosa II”—from bikers to stowaways
One side of the coin—the Yankee copper mines
In the land where Lafertté fought
In the land of the Incas
Machu Picchu at last
To the Huambo leprosarium
To the Peruvian rain forest
Ernesto cannot tell a lie
The Amazon and its people
En route to the San Pablo leprosarium
Science in the jungle
An unusual birthday
An unforgettable send–off
From leprologists to soccer players
Bogotá—a city under siege
In the land of Bolívar
A family gathering
