Turn Right at Machu Pichu

…‘the truth is that Machu Pichu is always going to be something of a mystery’

Machu Pichu is on my ‘bucket list.’

My attention to this fabulous site was further piqued by the interview author Mark Adams did about his then, forthcoming book, Turn Right at Machu Pichu: Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time, with Jon Stewart on the Daily Show.

(I had already been talking to friends who had visited there and researched times to visit and costs.)

When NetGalley had this title as an ARC I couldn’t resist it.

As many have said Adam’s work is a factual, entertaining and sometimes humorous read that inspires at least me, to hasten a visit to this fascinating site.

I would love to do it the way Adams did, in the footsteps of Hiram Bingham III.

Alas for me, those days have gone. I can however benefit from Adam’s travels, by increasing my understanding of Machu Pichu from his book, and by planning a less rigorous but satisfying experience of the ‘mysterious’ Machu Pichu. A great read!

So when Machu Picchu Doing It Yourself (Travel) by Alan Swanepoel was free on Amazon I also had to make sure I nabbed it.

My journey towards Machu Picchu goes forward.
