The Inca Trail and Choquequirao Trek: A Pictorial Guide to the World's Great Walks. Volume I

Volume I: The Inca Trail and Choquequirao Trek is the first in the Pictorial Guide to the World's Great Walk series, immersing the reader in the experience of journeying along the world’s greatest short trekking routes. Each volume seeks to inspire those who are planning a trek, or act as a souvenir to reawaken the memories of those who have already completed one. Justifiably regarded as one of the world's great walks both for its awe-inspiring scenery and dramatic history, the Inca Trail is the ultimate goal of many a seasoned hiker. Its counterpart, the trek to the 'Cradle of Gold' at Choquequirao is equally scenic, yet quieter, with no less history or interest. This book takes a photographic journey along these famous trails, outlining the history of the Incas and sights of interest along the way, before describing the fabulous 'lost cities' of Choquequirao and Machu Picchu. Contains over 110 colour photos, maps of the trails and recommendations for arranging your own trek.
