Book excerpt: A Fine Adventure Presents - Trekking Peru: A Hiking Guide to Independent Travel Peru is a world-class backpacker's paradise with jagged mountain peaks, massive glaciers, and hypnotic blue lakes coming together like a dream. "Trekking Peru: A Hiking Guide for Independent Travel," by Andy Fine, provides a comprehensive guide to hiking many of the spectacular treks in Peru. It includes a pre-trip planning guide, practical trail maps with hiking times and distances, recommended itineraries, detailed elevation profiles, and all the insider tips you need to successfully trek these unforgettable adventures. This guidebook provides the requisite knowledge to independently hike some of Peru's most popular, and some of its lesser-known treks without the reliance on a tour company. Guides to the following Peruvian treks are included: *Salkantay Trek to Machu Picchu *Ausangate Trek to Rainbow Mountain *Huayhuash Circuit *Alpamayo Circuit *Laguna Parón *Laguna 69 *Volcán Chachani "Trekking Peru" is the product of two months independently trekking throughout Peru's vastly diverse landscapes. Not only did I have the privilege to hike amongst some of the world's best terrain, but I did so for considerably less money than you might think and had the solitude and flexibility that only hiking independently without a guide provides. This guide provides very thorough details on a selection of multi-day treks rather than brief summaries of a myriad of hikes. The book is focused on how to hike the treks, additional resources will complement this guide to fill in the ancillary details like restaurants and city lodging necessary for your complete trip planning. Paperback is exclusively black and white. For colored maps and photos, choose the eBook option! All customers have free access to Andy's travel consultation services including one on one trip planning and GPS tracking files. Anyone planning to hike through Peru will greatly benefit from all the information in the guidebook!

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Guidebook to hiking and mountain biking in the Sacred Valley of Peru, including the Inca Trail. 40 routes (7 to Machu Picchu) visiting all major Incan sites discovered from Cusco, Urubamba, Ollantaytambo, Vilcabamba and in the remote region around Mount Ausangate. The routes are graded for difficulty, and most routes can be done on foot or by mountainbike and timings are given for each, as well as advice on whether it is preferable to undertake a particular route with a local guide or trekking agency, in the less well-known areas. The guidebook includes practical information on getting to and around the area, how to make the most out of any trip as well as plenty of background detail on the Incan history and places of interest explored on the routes. The Andes are the second highest mountain range in the world, after the Himalaya, but they have the most spectacular range of altitude - from 6000m down to just above sea level - making for some thrilling MTB descents on ancient Incan roads. The area also has a spectacular collection of ancient Incan sites, with new sites yet to be uncovered, and is still farmed by the direct descendants of the Incas, often seen in their colourful traditional dress in the local villages.

Trekking Peru showcases nine different regions in the country, covering popular areas such as Cusco and Lake Titicaca but also less-traveled areas such as the Great Inca Road and more remote areas in the Central Highlands. The variety the Kunstaetters offer and their insights as locals in the region are what make this guide stand apart and prove especially useful.

Book excerpt: THE NEW YORK TIMES BESTSELLING TRAVEL MEMOIR 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 archeological site, Mark Adams set out to retrace the explorer’s perilous path in search of the truth—except he’d 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’ 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?
