Synopsis:

This lavishly illustrated and highly informative volume is the definitive book on the Inca region of Peru. It is a breathtaking visual journey with lively and detailed text, from the sacred snowpeaks of the Andes down to the virgin rainforest of Amazonia. Celebrating the extraordinary diversity of the area through stunning photographs, it covers every aspect of life, from natural history to magical festivals. Lost cities, bizarre rituals and stunning landscapes surround Machu Picchu and Cuzco 'the archaeological capital of South America' while the jungle below in Manu National Park hosts the greatest biodiversity on the planet. Realm of the Incas is, quite simply, the culmination of Max Milligan's fifteen year love affair with this fabled land.

From the Inside Flap: Max Milligan has left virtually no stone unturned in his explorations; whether recording the icy source of the Amazon, the Sacred Valley of the Incas, Fitzcarraldo's trade routes or the cactus forests of Apurimac, his passion and determination to do his subject justice shine through.
