This work explores the author's personal experiences and observations while traveling through a lesser-known region of southeastern Mexico, particularly focusing on agricultural and industrial conditions. The book aims to shed light on the realities of this area, countering exaggerated claims often found in travel accounts and advertisements. The opening of the narrative reveals Harper's purpose in embarking on this journey to investigate the agricultural potential of southeastern Mexico, especially in the vanilla, coffee, and rubber industries. He sets off with two friends and an interpreter, intent on conducting a thorough examination of the conditions on the ground, contrasting sharply with the more glamorous portrayals often found in literature. The initial experiences highlight the many challenges and discomforts faced during their travels, such as ill-equipped transportation, vexatious pests, communication misunderstandings, and the dubious character of local business dealings—a theme that resonates throughout Harper's account as he seeks to paint a realistic picture of the region rather than a romanticized version.
