Eddy Ancinas goes to Peru with two friends, all of them physically fit and in their fifties, to ride horseback for seven days over the Andes and down to a jungle outpost where a train will take them to Machu Picchu. A fall from a horse, a pack mule's tumble over a cliff, and a train strike that leaves them stranded on the railroad tracks are just some of the misadventures that alter the course of their journey, as they endure physical and mental challenges with wit, grit, and humor.
