About the book
In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed the Andes in Peru and 'discovered' the famed archaeological site. While history recast Bingham as a liar and a thief, Mark Adams set out to retrace the explorer's perilous path in search of the truth. The only problem? He had written about adventure far more than he had ever actually lived it. In fact, he had never even slept in a tent. Adams' acclaimed account will thrill readers as he travels through these remote and historic hills, combining humor, history, and high-altitude mishaps in this unforgettable journey to one of the world's most iconic destinations.
