Review:

Breathtaking Read
By D Larsen
My first overall impression of this eBook (guide) is...Wow.
Mr. SwanePoel has done his homework, giving the reader the information (including website links right from the book) necessary for planning and executing a South American holiday. I would recommend this to anyone thinking of visiting Peru, or for anyone like me, who likes to dream.

Easy Reading By Malcolm M. Fowle, Jr. Very easy to follow, I like way that the information was conveyed along with the pictures. I took notes and am planning a trip soon.

Very informative and excellent buy
By R Irvin
I just returned from Machu Picchu, and this book was of great value.
The book cleared up many misconceptions about the trip, and i decided to stay longer and book all activities myself. The money that I saved not using a tour operator more than paid for the additional days, and paying for the price of the book multiple times. In Peru I used the book as a guide book, following the routes as described in the book, and had a blast. The pictures in the book made it easy to get around the ruins, allowing me to visit the points I wanted to see.
