| Publisher Description: Inca Land - Explorations in the Highlands of Peru is a Peruvian travelogue by the legendary explorer, Hiram Bingham. The following pages represent some of the results of four journeys into the interior of Peru and also many explorations into the labyrinth of early writings which treat of the Incas and their Land. Although my travels covered only a part of southern Peru, they took me into every variety of climate and forced me to camp at almost every altitude at which men have constructed houses or erected tents in the Western Hemisphere--from sea level up to 21,703 feet. |
