  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.

  Een degelijke kaart met aanduidingen van o.a. nationale parken, vliegveld, benzinepomp, dirt-roads en kleine plattegrond van hoofdstad. Als overzichtskaart goed te gebruiken.

  Peru at 1:1,500,000 on a double-sided, waterproof and tear-resistant, indexed map from ITMB, with large, clear street plans of central Lima and Cusco, highlighting accommodation, places of interest and various facilities.

  The map divides the country north/south, approximately along the line between the Cordillera Blanca and Cordillera Huyahuash, with very little overlap between the two sides. Topography is very effectively presented by altitude colouring, with spot heights and additional graphics for swamps and marshland, glaciers and volcanos.

  The map shows the country’s road network distinguishing between all-weather and seasonable roads and indicates driving distances on main routes. Railway lines, including the popular routes linking Cusco with Puno and Arequipa, are very clearly shown. The map also shows local airports and airstrips, as well as internal administrative boundaries with names of the provinces.

  National parks are highlighted and symbols indicate various other places of interest, including the country archaeological sites. Latitude and longitude lines are drawn at intervals of 1°. Each side has a separate index of localities.

  Also included are very clear street plans of central Lima and Cusco highlighting selected accommodation, supermarkets, various institutions and places of interest, etc.
