Seven Go Mad In Peru

An essay in the naivete and pretensions of the privileged

An awfully big adventure turns into a nightmare for seven naive ex-public school boys and girls on a gruelling trek across the Amazon jungle to find a ‘primitive’ Indian tribe. Eagerness and expectation soon change to tension and trauma. Hackles rise as team leader Will guzzles sweets. Meanwhile, the women whinge and refuse to eat meat, even when rations get scarce, and the testosterone-fuelled males steam manfully ahead. 

The final straw is the Amazonian tribe, who, outrageously in the eyes of the group, have swapped grass skirts and face paint for Nike trainers and Ray-Bans and are more interested in making a fast buck than gratefully receiving their gifts.
