I really enjoyed this when I was young, reading it several times. I browsed through a second-hand copy as an adult and realized that it probably wouldn't live up to a re-read.
Essentially, this is a Tarzan clone, only set in South America instead of Africa. The series of books were produced by the house authors of the Stratemeyer Syndicate (Hardy Boys, Tom Swift, etc.) under the pseudonym of Roy Rockwood.

I was terrified of the "Bomba" series when I was a kid, but read them all ... or as many as there was (leftovers from my dad's childhood). I read them in Danish and am not sure of the titles in English, so I'll just list one.
