What reading level is Along the Andes And Down the Amazon book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Both of these being so high up on the tableland and difficult of access, were unsuited for the great political and commercial metropolis the con- queror had in his mind's eye when he sought a location for the capital of the greatest of Spain's dependencies. The site on the river Rimac, near an Indian village, met his requirements as did no other spot. It was at the base of the Cordillera, on a fertile plain and but two leagues from the ocean, where there was one of the best harbors on the coast.... Unlike Quito and Bogata, it was accessible to Spanish merchantmen and could easily be made a dis- tributing center for merchandise coming from or destined for the Old World.
Having once decided on the location of the capital, Pizarro lost no time in laying its foundations. This was formally done the eighteenth of January, 1535. And as the founder had always entertained a great devotion towards The Three Holy Kings and as their feast day, the Epiphany, had occurred but twelve days before, he decided to call the new foundation La Ciudad de los Reyes — the City of the Kings.
