  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.

  Stadsplattegrond.

  The latest edition of Quito has been updated and a beautiful map of the northern portion of Ecuador, where Quito is located, has been added as a full-sized map to the ‘back’ side of the paper. We have done this quite successfully with other titles, such as Paris (Northern France) and Buenos Aires (Northern Argentina). Quito runs north-south, which doesn’t fit a map page, so we show it that way, but with the printing going east-west, for easier use. The city is covered from the international airport in the north (with our trademarked plane in the process of landing, thanks to Andrew) to the old town in the south. The regional map goes from the northern border with Colombia to Guayaquil and from the ocean to the vast Yasuni National Park on the Peruvian border; printed double-sided;
