Journey to the Island of the Sun: The Return to the Lost City of Gold (A Psychologist's Encounters with the Mysteries of the Incas) - Villoldo, Alberto; Jendresen, Erik

Clean, tight, unmarked; light creasing to upper edge of dust jacket; otherwise very minimal wear; Vilcabamba - the City of the Gods, the fabled Inca city of gold, lost in an area of impenetrable jungle. It was from here that the Incas waged a 40 year guerrilla war against the Spanish, home now to the Sendera Luminaso, undiscovered ruins, and spectral beings both real and imaginary. The Four Winds told the riveting story of Alberto Villoldo's journey to Peru to research the use and effects of the jungle plant ayahuasca and his encounters with Antonio Morales Baca, an enigmatic professor of philosophy who ultimately revealed himself to be a Quechua shaman, known to the Indians as Don Jicaram. It is now several years later, and Villoldo is about to embark on a journey even more hazardous and mind-wrenching than his first adventure, a journey in which he will encounter wonders and dangers that will test not only his courage but also his ability to survive beyond the wildest frontiers of his imagination.
