Nights in the Yungas

by Stephen Henighan

Henighan's stories resonate with the exhilaration, foreboding, and mystery that keep travellers hooked on South America. His "gringos", armed only with their passports, cross into the politically charged arenas of Nicaragua, Peru, Bolivia, Chile, and Colombia. As we ride buses with them or listen in the dark of the Nicaraguan jungle, we begin to understand the confrontation that makes outsiders insiders and the power of myth to transform the uninitiated.
