	Lost in the Andes - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Lost in the Andes is a Donald Duck story written by Carl Barks in April 1949.
		Unfortunately for the members of the expedition they all suffer from food poisoning during their journey to South America and by the time their boat reaches its coasts the only ones that had recovered enough to continue the expedition were the youngest in the group and the lowest in hierarchy: Donald and his nephews.
		Their search for the square eggs in the Andes seems hopeless as the local population sees them either as insane or as suckers to be fooled into buying artificial eggs.

	Nat' Academies Press, Lost Crops of the Incas: Little-Known Plants of the Andes with Promise for Worldwide Cultivation ...
		Today in the high Andes, the ancient influences still persist with rural peasants, who are largely pure-blooded Indian and continue to grow the crops of their forebears.
		These are the “lost crops of the Incas.” That these traditional native crops have a possible role in future food production is indicated by the success of the few that escaped the colonial confines.
		FUTURE BEYOND THE ANDES It is in the Andes that the plants have their greatest potential, especially for developing food products for malnourished segments of the population.

		Page 105 Ulluco In many highland areas of the Andes, ulluco (Ullucus tuberosus) is a staple, and in a few it is the predominant root crop.
		All in all, the Andes has much to give the high-altitude regions of the tropics, and ulluco is a good example.
		In the Andes, the tubers are sometimes freeze-dried (in the way potatoes are made into chuño) into a long-lasting product called “llingli.” This is usually ground into flour and added to cooked foods.

	The Golden Helmet - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Donald and his nephews go on a treasure hunt for a mythical helmet that apparently gives the possessor legal claim of North America.
		Donald is seen as working in the Duckburg Museum (as also in "Lost in the Andes") but his guard duties are not enough to satisfy him.
		The relics of the glorious past in the halls of the museum are all but forgotten as the crowds are more interested in butterfly collection and lace cushions.

	Observer \| Lost gold of the Andes
		It was the story of the golden plane, a British aircraft that crashed in the Andes loaded down with gold; gold which, if found, promised a life of blissful wealth.
		In 1974, José Moiso finally combined his two great loves when he flew through the Andes for the first time in a glider, the idiotically light aircraft twisting and turning like a feather caught in a breeze whenever it encountered the sharp updraughts and currents that pressed their way through the stone gullies.
		Marón was intrigued, because to his certain knowledge, only three aircraft lost in the Andes had been powered by Rolls-Royce engines.

	"Peru's Machu Picchu tops this writer's list for most interesting and most difficult"
		The easiest way to get to “the lost city”, Machu Picchu, Peru from the capital Lima, is a series of transport vehicles.
		While there is a direct flight from Lima, you’d be missing some of the remotest frontiers, ecological reserves, and exotic wild life, in a country where three fifths is jungle and the area abounds in folkloric tales.
		On this 5-hectare, rocky terrain in the Peruvian Andes, 2,020 metres above sea level, the owners of the Inkaterra chain have built an authentic five star standard boutique hotel decorated with original Inca objects and framed woven fabrics.
