A very picturesque route surely through some of the country featured in the book ‘A Parrot in the Pepper Tree’ by Chris Stewart.
Though lacking in exact reference points, it is believed that the valleys formed by the Tesoro Divide and the Dilar and Durcal rivers with beautiful meadows full of wild mountain flowers were the inspiration for some of the chapters. As were the villages on the southern edge of this trek the backdrop for the book ‘Driving of Lemons’ by the same author.
Now actively involved in guided walks in the region, Chris Stewart is still resident in the area.
