South American Book Recommendations!

[Justanotherfacet]

Hey all, i'm flying off the South America - Argentina, Bolivia and Peru- in about a month and i was wondering whether anyone could suggest a good book or series based in one or all of these countries.

 

For the record, I'm not looking for gritty realism about a middle ages stockbrokers battle with depression over his blahdy blah blah, (im sure we're all familiar with that kind of crap)

 

Im after a wild, whirlwind adventure full of exploration and fun to pep me up about seeing some of the sites like Machu Pichu.

 

I don't care if it s the most ridiculous fantasy fiction, so long as its exciting.

 

Anyways, any recommendations are much appreciated! And does anyone have any recommendations of places to go and sites to see? I have a month and a week and so far all ive booked is a 7 day inca trail/machupichu tour =)

 

Cheers
