ABOUT THE BOOK
Have you ever asked yourself the question . . . what is the true nature of reality and what is my place in it?
John Forelli went to Peru in search of the answer. Waiting for him in the Sacred Valley was a hut, a psychoactive brew called ayahuasca, and a beautiful woman.
Presented with photographs of Peru from the ancient alleys of Cusco to the dizzying heights of Machu Picchu, Ayahuasca in the Age of Donald Trump is a spiritual quest within a travel memoir.
It is the true story of John’s trip—the journey of a lifetime.
