excellent, detailed, in depth summary of Cusco’s attractions and major treks. Good, clear, informative write ups on the ruins, towns and hikes in the area with maps.

This book is quite informative! It gave more detail for hikes than we need, since we will have a tour guide. I’m sure anyone without a guide will find this an outstanding book.

Lima, Cusco, Sacred Valley, Inca Trail & Machu Picchu. This book offers the perfect amount of scope for a Peruvian vacation. Only problem is that the information is severely out of date already. In only a couple years prices have changed dramatically. We found we had to double or quadruple some of the prices found in the book – it’s still cheap and we found competitive rates, but from 2006 to 2009, things have changed a lot.

While the hand-drawn maps seem like they would be very helpful -giving just the right information- they are confusing and don’t contain the information you expect to see when standing in the actual places.

Someone needs to take this book and update the information and make more coherent maps. Great idea for a book, but use it with a grain of salt.

For someone who only had enough vacation days to hike the Inca Trail with a few days to spare in Cusco, and a single day in Lima, this book was indispensable. The size was perfect for carrying in a daypack with sufficient pages devoted to the history and culture. My friend and I explored many of the restaurants and sites mentioned by the author and all of the descriptions and directions were clear and accurate. I’ve already lent the book to two other friends who returned from their trips with the same comments. A very efficient guide book for exploring the Inca Trail and surroundings.
