I bought this book in preparation for going to hike the Inca Trail. Great info!

This book came in handy while at Machu Picchu. We actually did have a guide, but we also had some members who could not handle the stairs all day. So we took the guided tour, then toured on our own with this guidebook. It was very helpful, and appeared accurate. Worth the money, and I would recommend reading it before you get on the mountain. That way you can decide where you want to climb to and the not miss areas for your trip.

The reviews of this book on Amazon and elsewhere are comprehensive on its strengths and weaknesses.

I spent 8 hrs visiting Machu Picchu following the guide. It was very detailed in describing each sector and the information given was enough to get a good understanding of the place.
