Description
This book records the legendary Inca trail in Bolivia, Peru and Ecuador. It authors made several trips to gather together these photographs. The black and white images follow the large network of paths that linked the vast Inca empire. The text tells the story of their civilization, and describes the customs that are meaningful, all within the picturesque framework of regular gathering-places such as the colorful markets where they trade their goods, and the imposing religious enclaves where they make their offerings.
