What reading level is The Andean Land (South America) book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
La Paz, "City of Peace," is one of the extraordinary human gathering places of the world. The town is in a kettle hole one thousand feet deep, with nearly vertical walls ten miles long and three miles wide. Only by a zigzag road three miles long can you get out of this peculiar environment. Five rivers, crossed by twenty-one bridges, some of them of ponder- ous stone and centuries old, flow through La Paz, and once the very town itself was a placer digging, for the Rio Chuquiapa was rich in gol...d.
The other rivers are the Apumalla, Majahaquira, Caraivichinca, and San Pedro. The city is di- vided into nine districts similar to our wards, only more independent. The streets are nar- row, steep, crooked, and run everywhere; there is very little level ground within the urban confines. Streets cross or intersect at acute or obtuse angles and the sidewalk is seldom more than a narrow stone ledge not much above the street, if any. Three iron gates give entrance to the quite creditable Alameda, which is one Digitized by Google THE INCAS AND CUZCO 187 hundred and eighteen feet wide and eighteen hundred and four feet long.
