PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
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.
