Even though the conditions are hard, it isn't exactly a journey of self-discovery, which is what I prefer in travel writing. He was never without a staff of cooks, guides, mule handlers, and hosts. He had connections to help him prepare, research, and advise him on equipment. He has worked in travel writing, albeit more as an armchair editor than a traveler, for years. If Adams had only written about his own journey, I'm not sure it would have been that interesting. This book chronicles that journey, as well as a return trip he took to hike the "Inca Trail." Mark Adams decides to trace the journey of the man who claimed to "discover" Machu Picchu, Hiram Bingham, and takes a very strenuous hike through Peru.
