Synopsis
Peter Frost’s Exploring Cusco was first published in 1979 and has since become the essential guide to Peru’s most famous region: Cusco, Machu Picchu and the former Inca heartland. Every page is infused with the author’s personal knowledge and experience, and exploring the region with this book is like having a private guide at your side. The book focuses on the region's fascinating history, archaeology and folklore, revealed through walking tours of Inca sites. Much of the book covers the city of Cusco and the Sacred Valley, including Machu Picchu, but the complete book describes an area ranging from the city of Sicuani to the ruins of Espiritu Pampa, a distance of some 265km (166mi). Inside you’ll find: 1) step-by-step walking tours and maps for the Cusco region’s most famous ruins and lesser-known ones: Machu Picchu, Ollantaytambo, Pisac, Chinchero, Moray, the Inca Trail, Choquequirao, and many more. 2) In-depth discussions of Inca history, all woven seamlessly into the walking tours of the ruins. 3) Countless recommendations for hotels, restaurants, transportation, tour operators and souvenirs. 4) Sections on medicinal plants, including coca leaves, ayahuasca, and the San Pedro cactus. 5) Selected hikes, plus many more linked to the author’s website.
