5.0 out of 5 stars If you take one thing to Peru, take this!, 27 Jun 2006
By A. Lyon "Wandering Buffoon" (England, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This book is nigh on essential for anyone spending time in Lima, Cusco or doing the Inca Trail.

I found it incredibly useful before I went (planning what to take) and while I was there. The listings are up to date and accurate.

There are several interesting sections in this book that you wont find in any other guide. Including flaura and fauna on the trail, and a good section on minimum impact trekking. Accurate sections on both the history of Peru and the history of th'Incas.

To be absolutely honest, I didn't get to use the Inca Trail section as a train strike prevented me getting to the start of the trail, so a day trip to Machu Picchu was all that was possible. The guide of MP is excellent though!

5.0 out of 5 stars Handy Reference Guide, 16 Jun 2008
By Reader (livingston United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
We are going to walk the inca trail later this year, and have so far found this book great, although there are only a handful of photos.If we want to know anything we turn to our little guide.So far I've looked up advice on what innoculations you need, what to watch out for with insurance,altitude sickness, what to pack,the route and maps, and i've hardly explored this little book that's as big as my hand.
There is still chapters on Route Options (including vilcamba Trail, classic trail, Mollepata trek), What to Take ( clothes, medical, internet sites,etc)Pre Departure Health Preparations, Peru facts about the country (gegraphical background, historical outline, culture, flora and fauna, visas, accomodation etc)The incas (Mastercraftsmen,Inca Government, plague and civil war etc etc!!!) Lima ( what to see getting around etc)Cusco (history , where to stay , shopping) Minmum Impact and Safe Trekking, Machu Picchu ( a guide to the ruins,practicalities, etc) Phew
This book is definately going in my back pack.

4.0 out of 5 stars Invaluable, 29 Jul 2009
I have used this both in my work in the travel industry and personally and it really is an invaluable guide. It's light and compact enough that you wouldn't notice the extra weight in your rucksack, it's up to date and informative, providing all the information you need on the different routes, innoculations, what equipment to take and dealing with altitude as well as a concise history of the Incas, a chapter on flora and fauna and detailed descriptions of the towns and cities and much more. Invaluable.
