Review:

...for the adventurous traveler who wants to live like a native.' --Real Simple Magazine, June 2005

Synopsis:

The World Travel Organization ranked Peru as fourth top emerging destination in the Americas, and in 2004, the highest percentage of visitors to Peru (22%) were from the U.S. This all-new revised edition, with more pages and new maps covering more off-the-beaten-track destinations, includes a special Inca World feature written by British explorer Hugh Thomson, who discovered the Cota Coca site in 2002, and has written two books on Incan civilization and history.
