Turn Right at Machu Picchu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time by Mark Adams

4.0

An excellent listen if you are planning on visiting Machu Picchu in Peru. Gives modern and historical perspective on geographic, historical, cultural and political happenings in Peru. Having the narrator pronounce all of the difficult (for me) names was very helpful. I particularly enjoyed listening to the narrative regarding the author who as a travel adventure editor had never really adventured until he decided to follow in the footsteps of Hiram Bingham, the explorer who "discovered" the ruins of Machu Picchu. His Australian guide is awesome, and they learn a lot together. Historical perspective is interspersed throughout the narrative. If you listen to this story with plans of taking a day train to the site, you will probably change your mind and decide to hike the Inca Trail to experience the many meaningful sites along the way.
