Detailed watercolors follow the quest of archaeologist Hiram Bingham, who, in his 1911 search for the legendary Incan city of Vilcapampa, discovered "a place even more amazing"--Machu Picchu. Lewin draws on Bingham's journal for this account of the grueling expedition to the Andes. This evocative glimpse will complement other more substantive materials about Machu Picchu, its builders, and its inhabitants.
