When Jamie’s Scottish Geologist father dies in a cycling accident in South America he is compelled to journey to Bolivia, seeking out his dad’s memory in a region that profoundly shaped both of their lives. Travelling through the high Andes, Jamie traces a family story that stretches from Scotland to South America and across five generations. Altiplano is both a vivid encounter with the Bolivian Highlands and a poignant memoir of a son’s love for his father.
 
“A remarkable memoir of travel and adventure, of home and family, and one man’s quest to make peace with the memory of his father.”
