Three Letters from the Andes by Patrick Leigh Fermor

The six friends who set off to climb in the Andes in the autumn of 1971 were as varied and remarkable as the characters in a novel. The expedition was led by Robin Fedden, the writer and poet, and his wife there was a Swiss international skier and jeweller, a social anthropologist from Provence who had fought in the French Resistance and a Nottinghamshire farming squire, all seasoned mountaineers. The others, a botany-loving duke and the author, were absolute beginners. This book tells of the experiences of their journey, the cities and places visited.
