In 1911, Professor Hiram Bingham carved a treacherous path through the jungles and mountains of Peru in search of Vilcapampa, the lost city of the Incas.
Guided by a young Quechua boy, however, he discovered not the rumored lost city, but the ruins of Machu Picchu, a city totally unknown to the outside world, and one of the wonders of the world.
Following Bingham's historic journey, Lost City is a jewel of a picture book—as beautiful and entertaining as it is informative.
