Description
|
|
|
|
In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the Andes of Peru and "discovered" Machu Picchu. While history has cast him as a villain who stole both priceless artifacts and the credit for finding the great archaeological site, Mark Adams sets out to retrace the explorer's perilous path in search of the truth of Machu Picchu—an unlikely quest for Adams, who had, until then, never even slept in a tent. This "entirely delightful book" (Washington Post) is Adams' fascinating and funny account of his journey through some of the world's most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes guided only by a hard-as-nails Australian survivalist and one nagging question: just what was this lost city for?
