«La expedición de la Kon-Tiki» is the travel and adventure book by Thor Heyerdahl, published by Editorial Juventud in paperback (300 pages, in Spanish).
The book recounts how Thor Heyerdahl, convinced that the first settlers of Polynesia came from South America, crossed the Pacific on a raft built with ancestral materials and techniques. Together with five crew members, the Kon-Tiki expedition proved in practice that such a voyage was possible. The narrative combines adventure, observations of life at sea, and the defense of his controversial theory about contacts between pre-Columbian cultures and the Pacific islands.
The book belongs to the collection «En el mar y la montaña» by Editorial Juventud, in its 15th edition.
Recommended for readers interested in tales of exploration, travel, and debates about the history of the peoples of the Pacific.
