  Mark Adams has spent his career editing adventure and travel magazines, so his plan to investigate the allegations against Bingham by retracing the explorer's perilous path to Machu Picchu isn't completely far- fetched, even if it does require him to sleep in a tent for the first time. With a crusty, antisocial Australian survivalist and several Quechua-speaking, coca-chewing mule tenders as his guides, Adams takes readers through some of the most gorgeous and historic landscapes in Peru, from the ancient Inca capital of Cusco to the enigmatic ruins of Vitcos and Vilcabamba.
  
  Along the way he finds a still-undiscovered country populated with brilliant and eccentric characters, as well as an answer to the question that has nagged scientists since Hiram Bingham's time: Just what was Machu Picchu?

  In over his head on an arduous guided trek to Choquequirao and other remote sites, Adams mixes entertaining tales of his own travails with analysis of the rather grand Hiram Bingham in this "following-in-the-footsteps-of" account. The sometimes easy swipes at group travelers and his own puffery aside (he makes himself out to be quite the accidental explorer), it's an entertaining, well-informed account of not only the "discovery" of Machu Picchu but also other sites.
