A Unique Travel Guide for the Adventurer in All of Us
Machu Picchu, a Peruvian archeological site set atop a lofty mountain range, nearly 8000 feet above sea level. The once powerful Inca Empire gave rise to this mystical city in the 15th Century. The ruins overlook majestic mountain ranges, sacred valleys and flowing rivers – there is literally no place like it on the planet. It is unique in history, design, preservation, and access from the outside world. A trip to Machu Picchu is at the heart of discovery: create memories, fill a photo album, or fulfill a lifelong dream of adventure.
This travel guide is intended for the do-it-yourself traveler, but the vital information is certainly pertinent for anyone planning a trip to the site. Explore the region before even arriving, with 235 beautiful pictures to stimulate your imagination and build excitement.

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.
