"Plans are usually only good for one thing - laughing at in
hindsight. So, armed with rudimentary Spanish, dangerous levels of
curiosity and a record of poor judgement, I set off to tackle
whatever South America could throw at me." On his nineteenth
birthday, Peter Allison flipped a coin. One side would take him to
Africa and the other to South America. He recounted his time spent
as a safari guide in Africa to much acclaim in Don't Run, Whatever
You do and Don't Look Behind You. Sixteen years later he makes his
way to Chile, ready to seek out the continent's best, weirdest and
wildest adventures - and to chase the elusive jaguar. From learning
to walk a puma (or rather be bitten and dragged along by it) in
Bolivia, to finding love in Patagonia and hunting naked with the
remote Huaorani people in Ecuador, How to Walk a Puma is Peter's
fascinating and often hilarious account of misadventures in South
America. Ever the gifted storyteller and cultural observer, Allison
makes many observations about life in humid climes, the nature of
nomadism, and exactly what it is like to be nearly blasted off a
mountain by the famous Patagonia wind. His self-deprecating humour
is as delightful as his crazy stunts, and his love for animals -
even when they bite - is infectious.
