Book Description
This book examines the evidence for the widespread idea that 'the Treasure of Lima' was buried on Cocos Island in the Pacific Ocean in 1820, and remains there to this day. The legend inspired some 500 expeditions to the Island between 1850 and 1978, when digging for buried treasure became illegal.

Book Description
White beaches and coral reefs should be adventure-proof... For archaeologist and TV show host Annja Creed, a restful vacation in Costa Rica is as elusive as a rare artifact. Days into her sojourn, Annja's peace is interrupted by a woman with a mysterious--and enticing--tale. Weeks earlier, her husband led an expedition into the rain forest, in search of the lost treasure of Lima, and hadn't returned. The priceless hoard was smuggled out of Peru during the country's nineteenth-century revolt against Spain. But it disappeared when a ship captain went mad with greed. Twenty-six expeditions have gone after the treasure. And twenty-six expeditions have vanished. Sympathetic to the woman's distress, Annja agrees to head up a rescue party for her missing husband. And Annja can't deny her own interest in the lost hoard. Now the fates of two expeditions are at stake, along with a fortune in gold, silver and jewels rumoured to be exquisite. But the dense jungle of Cocos Island guards its primitive secrets well. Danger lurks beneath the ancient green canopy. And this time, Annja doesn't see it coming....

Come to Isla Coco in mind and spirit to learn how great treasures came to rest on this speck of land, only14 square miles. Supposedly uninhabited (save park rangers), it teems with paranormal citizens from English Corsairs, Spanish Conquistadores, Buccaneers, and Incan Warriors - all attached to GOLD and SILVER. If you like Ghost stories, care for some real ones? Learn why 100's of expeditions have landed, to mostly go home empty handed! Enjoy History, come and savor it. Walk and talk with the treasure hunters, mediums, and entities from the "other side," as modern seekers beg for the all-important approval to take the loot. Judge for yourself, why this island is jammed with cleverly hidden and elusive wealth, natural violence, and unimaginable beauty.
