Inca Land: Explorations in the Highlands of Peru

A seasoned explorer takes listeners on a remarkable trek through Peru’s dramatic highlands, where snow‑capped peaks give way to lush jungle valleys within a single day’s journey. From the barren deserts of Sihuas and Majes to the verdant corridors of the Amazon basin, the narrative captures the stark beauty of a land shaped by extreme climates and ancient stone cities perched on sheer cliffs.

Interwoven with vivid photographs and meticulous field notes, the account also follows the author’s quest to sort fact from fanciful myth in the tangled histories of the Incas. Collaborating with a diverse team of scientists, cartographers, and local guides, he reveals how each expedition added new layers to our understanding of a civilization that once thrived amid such contrasts. Listeners will feel the chill of Andean passes, the humidity of tropical rainforests, and the excitement of uncovering forgotten pathways that still whisper the secrets of the Inca world.
