Inca

Clive Cussler

Pocket Star, 2007

I Love This Book!
Inca Gold was the first Clive Cussler novel I ever read. From then on I was hooked. It is one of the great adventure stories (and I'm partial to stories that involve ancient Spanish treasure). Dirk Pitt and Al Giordino are fun characters that work really well ...

Prisoners of the Sun (The Adventures of Tintin)

Herge

Little, Brown Young Readers, 1975

A Tintin Classic!
One of the top three Tintin books. Exciting, funny, and mysterious. If it wasn't for some racist remarks, this would be perfect. But I'm willing to forgive Herge for not being political correct 50 years ago. I read the Tintin books as a kid adn I loved them. Now my ...

Taking the mystical experience home

Richard Danbury, Alexander Stewart

Trailblazer Publications, 2005

Highly recommended!
For someone who only had enough vacation days to hike the Inca Trail with a few days to spare in Cusco, and a single day in Lima, this book was indispensable. The size was perfect for carrying in a daypack with sufficient pages devoted to the history and culture. My ...

The Last Days of the Incas

Kim MacQuarrie

Simon & Schuster, 2008

Last Days of The Incas
Last Days of the Incas is a splendid book, a complex story well told. Readable and compelling. What I particularly enjoyed: bookending the narrative of fall of the Inca empire with the 20th century hunt for Machu Picchu, Vilcabama, and other Inca sites; inspired ...

Lost City of the Incas (Phoenix Press)

Hiram Bingham

Phoenix, 2003

a Great Introduction to Peru and history of anthropology
This book is valuable for many reasons. First and foremost, it presents us with the views and attitudes of one of the world's foremost anthropologist-explorers from the beginning of the 20th century. This means lots and lots of passion and enthusiasm, a willingness to ...

The Machu Picchu Guidebook: A Self-Guided Tour

Ruth M. Wright, Alfredo Valencia Zegarra

Johnson Books, 2004

A great way to prepare your eyes for Machu Picchu
This book is fairly scholarly and serious, but I read it on a cross-country flight, using the detailed map insert to locate key items as I read. It made my enjoyment of the site itself many many times greater. Most local guides you hire at the site will only show ...

Dance of the Four Winds: Secrets of the Inca Medicine Wheel

Alberto Villoldo, Erik Jendresen

Destiny Books, 1994

Now one of my favorite books
I absolutely loved reading this story, and haven't read any story as stimulating since The Celestine Prophesy.... the difference, of course being - that this book recounts true life experiences. This was an engaging, enjoyable read with many eye opening insights into ...
