Miracle in the Andes: 72 Days on the Mountain and My Long Trek Home

CD Details

Miracle in the Andes is Nando Parrado’s audiobook account of surviving a 1972 plane crash in the South American mountains. After the aircraft carrying his rugby team, their families, and supporters went down en route to an exhibition game in Chile, Parrado regained consciousness to find himself stranded at nearly 12,000 feet with fellow survivors facing extreme cold, avalanches, and dwindling hope. When rescue efforts were abandoned, the young man resolved to cross forty-five miles of frozen terrain to seek help, driven by thoughts of his father and the determination to either reach safety or die trying.

This CD audiobook presents Parrado’s firsthand recollection of the crash and survival, told with candor about the physical and emotional toll of the ordeal. Hear the remarkable true story of an ordinary person confronting extraordinary circumstances in one of history’s most harrowing survival tales, available used and ready to play.
