INCA RIDE

– Not just that I’m in awe of the achievement, but I thought Edward really pulled the reader into the story and told it so warmly and generously –

David Lough, Author and Historian

In 2009, four British university graduates rode 3,000 kilometres along the spine of the perilous Andes mountains. Their six-month adventure took them through Ecuador and Peru, along the ancient routes of the Incas, the largest pre-Columbian empire in South America.

Inca Ride is the story of their journey, their friendship and humour, the companionship with their horses, and their human encounters along the way. This is a tale that will captivate travellers, horse enthusiasts and those with a love of the happenstance of life itself.

On their path, they experience injury and disease, find themselves held at gunpoint, and become subjected to the immense instability of the Andean elements.
