Set against the stark, snow‑capped peaks of the Andes just after the Chile‑Peruvian war, the story follows three young explorers—Harvey, Hope‑Jones and Ferguson—as they venture into a landscape that is both breathtaking and treacherous. Their first encounter with fresh snowfall quickly turns perilous when a massive boulder thunders down the mountainside, forcing them to scramble for safety and hinting at the relentless challenges that lie ahead.
Beyond the immediate danger, the narrative paints a vivid picture of a nation in transition. As Peru shifts from the old riches of gold, guano and nitrate to new endeavors in copper mining, oil drilling and agriculture, the explorers become witnesses to a fresh wave of ambition and hope. Their journey promises encounters with rugged terrain, mysterious locals, and the promise of untapped wealth hidden deep within “Incaland.
