About this book
Four trips into the interior of Peru and long reading in the early chroniclers lie behind Hiram Bingham's Inca Land, published in 1922. He camped at almost every height from sea level to 21,703 feet, crossing Andean passes and great canyons down into the Amazon jungles. The region between the Apurimac and the Urubamba rivers, sometimes called the cradle of the Incas, first drew him to explore. He draws on the expeditions' photographs, now over eleven thousand negatives, on his companions' maps and notes, and on chronicles of the last Incas that he finds full of conflicting statements. Bingham's 1911 expedition brought Machu Picchu to world notice.
