Educational and entertaining! What more can one ask for? Mark Adams retraces the footsteps of Hiram Bingham, who introduced Machu Picchu to the world in 1911, then Adams returns to confirm the Incas’ engineering was superbly accurate aligning with the winter solstice. Adams is self-deprecating but clearly very brave, willing to expend an enormous effort when he hadn’t so much as tented in his own backyard as a child. A book not to be missed for anyone interested in history, the Incas, South America, travel, Peru, South America, the Andes—or anyone just wanting a good read. My only complaint? The author’s photos weren’t in color and were very small.

Great book. I now have another place on my list to visit. I can't wait to hike the Inca Trail.
Not my favorite, too many details to keep straight. But some funny moments here and there.

This book was full of interesting information. It was well written and the topic is of great interest to me. I don't know why I had so much trouble getting through it. I kept diligently reading, but it seemed to take forever to finish. I'm glad I read it, for sure, but I'm also really glad to be finished reading it.
