What reading level is Glimpses of South America book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Beside it the little train that has brought you over the Andes looks like a toy.
THE trip across the Andes is not a particularly trying one.
For some reason, the ten thousand odd feet of elevation reached does not affect one as strongly as the same altitude would further north in Peru or Bolivia, and no dread need be had on this account. A few, very few, people feel a trifle uncomfortable during the highest part of the passage, but this is probably due as much to the close air in the car, and t...he jerky motion of the train, as to the altitude. The chief dis- comfort is sitting all day crowded into the narrow-gauge cars, but there are many opportunities to stretch one's legs outside — ^which will be done in spite of gratuitous advice from many Digitized by LjOOQIC OVER THE ANDES TO THE ARGENTINE REPUBLIC 247 quarters not to exert oneself at all in a high altitude.
Special mention is made of this — as a matter of fact, the people you meet on your way down the west coast won't con- fine themselves to advice.
