Hiking the Inca Trail is on my bucket list and was planning on going in 2020 before Covid hit. This provided some great history of the American explorer Hiram Bingham who put Macchu Picchu on the map. I really appreciated the history of the conflict between the Incas and the Spaniards that provides you with the historical context. To round out the story, the author provides anecdotes of his own experience following in Bingham's footsteps giving great insight into what it is like today to explore the Inca civilization. I feel much more informed as to how my own experience will go.
