Summary
What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu Picchu? In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the Andes Mountains of Peru and 'discovered' Machu Picchu. While history has recast Bingham as a villain who stole both priceless artifacts and credit for finding the great archeological site, Mark Adams set out to retrace the explorer's perilous path in search of the truth-except he'd written about adventure far more than he'd actually lived it. In fact, he'd never even slept in a tent. Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adams' fascinating and funny account of his journey through some of the world's most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes guided only by a hard-as-nails Australian survivalist and one nagging question: Just what was Machu Picchu?

The audiobook seemed to skip chapters though without detracting from the story. Get a map or at least Google the map of the machu pichu area so you can visualize his and bingham's expeditions.

I will be traveling to Peru in June and hiking on the Inca Trail. This book was terrific with getting prepared. Great stores, I know I will listen to it again!!

Nicely written and entertaining look at Inca history and early twentieth century exploration intertwined with the authors own travel journal. Engaging.
