THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLER!

What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu Picchu?

In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the Andes Mountains of Peru and â‚¬Å“discoveredâ‚¬Â Machu Picchu. While history has recast Bingham as a villain who stole both priceless artifacts and credit for finding the great archeological site, Mark Adams set out to retrace the explorerâ‚¬s perilous path in search of the truthâ‚¬"except heâ‚¬d written about adventure far more than heâ‚¬d actually lived it. In fact, heâ‚¬d never even slept in a tent.

Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adamsâ‚¬ fascinating and funny account of his journey through some of the worldâ‚¬s most majestic, historic, and remote landscapes guided only by a hard-as-nails Australian survivalist and one nagging question: Just what was Machu Picchu?
