Los Viejos: Secrets of Long Life from the Sacred Valley

For a year Grace Halsell lived with the “Viejos” the longest-living people in the Western Hemisphere. She stayed in their primitive huts and slept on their beds of rough-hewn wooden boards. She ate their boiled corn called “mote” and listened to their stories of romance and love and the manner in which they give meaning to their lives. She discovered that these gentle people have found for themselves a joy and a peace that few find in more advanced societies. And she brought back with her their simple truths for health longevity and self-fulfillment.
