Turn Right at Machu Picchu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time by Mark Adams
3.0
Part adventure travel, part history, part anthropology, and part expose on the discovery of Machu Picchu, Mark Adams hires John Lievers, a guide from Australia in an attempt to retrace Hiram Bingham's journey in a quest to understand why the Incans built Machu Picchu.
I enjoyed this book quite a bit. There's a lot of Incan history that I was not aware of. I also enjoyed the historical analysis and expose on Hiram Bingham's discovery of Machu Picchu. With the help of a number of photographs, Mark does a fine job of also describing the setting for this adventure. I've been to Machu Picchu, and after read this, realize how much that I missed. It makes me want to go back and take it in more and at the very least explore the surrounding area that leads up to it.
