Summary: "Travels in Peru, on the Coast, in the Sierra, Across the Cordilleras and the Andes" by Dr. J. J. von Tschudi is a travelogue and natural history account written in the mid-19th century. The work covers the author's journey through various regions of Peru, providing detailed observations about the geography, flora, fauna, and the lives of the local inhabitants.

Upon reaching the Island of Chiloe, he provides vivid descriptions of the landscape, climate, and the local people's conditions, emphasizing their poverty and unique agricultural practices. His fascination with zoology is evident as he recounts his observations of local wildlife, including the Gyr-Falcon and other species.
