This full-color guide to Machu Picchu includes vibrant photos and helpful planning maps. This is Machu Picchu, center of the lost Inca empire. This guide tells you how to choose guides, tours, and means of transportation, how to plan a trek in the Andes, how to get there, how long it will take, and where to stop along the way, including information on Cusco, the Sacred Valley, and stopping over in Lima.

Pretty good, but I wish it had more information on the excursions just outside of Cusco - including Chincheros, the Salt Mines, Moray etc. The book was great for Cusco and Machu Picchu, but there was so much more to explore just outside of Cusco - and the book barely touched on it.
