Publisher Description:
An intense and deeply personal account of five months spent high in the Andes Mountains, this travelogue combines historical and anthropological details with the thrill of extreme adventure. Hiking at more than 10,000 feet for almost the entire trip, the author follows the great road of the Incas, the Camino Real. Hand-built more than 500 years ago, this road crosses the most difficult and dangerous mountains in all the Americas, and life continues as if Columbus had never sailed. Finding and studying remote villages is central to the quest, and--despite dog attacks, sweltering canyons, floods, and stubborn donkeys--the author makes his way from the equator to Cuzco and on to the most magical city of all: Machu Picchu.
