Turn Right At Machu Picchu:Rediscovering the Lost City One Step at a Time

Mark Adams

What happens when an unadventurous adventure writer tries to re-create the original expedition to Machu Picchu?

In 1911, Hiram Bingham III climbed into the Andes Mountains of Peru and ‘discovered’ Machu Picchu. While history has recast Bingham as a villain who stole both priceless artifacts and credit for finding the great archaeological site, Mark Adams set out to retrace the explorer’s perilous path in search of the truth -

except Adams had written about adventure far more than he’d actually lived it. In fact, he’d never even slept in a tent.
Turn Right at Machu Picchu is Adams’s fascinating and funny account of his journey through some of the world’s most majestic, historic and remote landscapes guided only by a hard-as-nails Australian survivalist and one nagging question- Just what was Machu Picchu?
