Description
Caldecott Honor-winner Ted Lewin takes readers on an exciting journey to the wilds of Peru on this story of Hiram Bingham, who, in 1911, carved a treacherous path through snake-filled jungles and across perilous mountains on the lookout for Vilcapampa, the lost city of the Incas. Guided the last steps by a young Quechua boy, then again, he came upon no longer the rumored lost city, however the ruins of Machu Picchu, a city totally unknown to the outdoor world, and one of the most wonders of the sector.
