The Secret of Paratoari Virgilio Yabar Calderon

The names of people, places and stories mentioned in this book are completely true and not fictitious. This book is the conclusion of a work, a life long mission that started in 1978 when I was a child and I first heard about the Paititi, then first reading about expeditions, then participating in expeditions in search of these mythical ruins, organizing expeditions, researching to finally find them. In this book we make a time line from where we have records of the presence of civilization in the area of Pilcopata and surrounding especially the Manu National Park, that is the stories of the chroniclers who involve this area, and subsequent expeditions to our times, highlighting the most important and those that triggered the discovery of the ruins of Paratoari. Although hundreds of expeditions were organized by an equal number of explorers in search of Paititi, to the pyramids of Paratoari and other areas near this area, this book only mentions those of importance to the author. Finally I present evidence about the Paratoari citadel, the Paratoari petroglyphs and the Paratoari geoglyphs.
