A Fine Adventure Presents - Trekking Peru: A Hiking Guide to Independent Travel Peru is a world-class backpacker's paradise with jagged mountain peaks, massive glaciers, and hypnotic blue lakes coming together like a dream. "Trekking Peru: A Hiking Guide for Independent Travel," by Andy Fine, provides a comprehensive guide to hiking many of the spectacular treks in Peru. It includes a pre-trip planning guide, practical trail maps with hiking times and distances, recommended itineraries, detailed elevation profiles, and all the insider tips you need to successfully trek these unforgettable adventures. This guidebook provides the requisite knowledge to independently hike some of Peru's most popular, and some of its lesser-known treks without the reliance on a tour company. Guides to the following Peruvian treks are included: *Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu *Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain *Huayhuash Circuit *Alpamayo Circuit *Laguna Parón *Laguna 69 *Volcán Chachani "Trekking Peru" is the product of two months independently trekking throughout Peru's vastly diverse landscapes. Not only did I have the privilege to hike amongst some of the world's best terrain, but I did so for considerably less money than you might think and had the solitude and flexibility that only hiking independently without a guide provides. This guide provides very thorough details on a selection of multi-day treks rather than brief summaries of a myriad of hikes. The book is focused on how to hike the treks, additional resources will complement this guide to fill in the ancillary details like restaurants and city lodging necessary for your complete trip planning. Paperback is exclusively black and white. For colored maps and photos, choose the eBook option! All customers have free access to Andy's travel consultation services including one on one trip planning and GPS tracking files. Anyone planning to hike through Peru will greatly benefit from all the information in the guidebook!

First published in the 1950s, this is a classic account of the discovery in 1911 of the lost city of Machu Picchu. In 1911 Hiram Bingham, a pre-historian with a love of exotic destinations, set out to Peru in search of the legendary city of Vilcabamba, capital city of the last Inca ruler, Manco Inca. With a combination of doggedness and good fortune he stumbled on the perfectly preserved ruins of Machu Picchu perched on a cloud-capped ledge 2000 feet above the torrent of the Urubamba River. The buildings were of white granite, exquisitely carved blocks each higher than a man. Bingham had not, as it turned out, found Vilcabamba, but he had nevertheless made an astonishing and memorable discovery, which he describes in his bestselling book LOST CITY OF THE INCAS.
