[About the Product]
-A Journey Meeting History Alive Today-
I raced at full speed through the midnight Houston airport, led by a travel guide, panting to catch a flight to Mexico. The reason? To see with my own eyes what the ruins of the Incas really looked like, and to capture the forest of condors in the Colca Valley in photographs. Despite the issue of our intended flight having already departed, we somehow arrived in Lima. We traveled to Machu Picchu, Lake Titicaca, and the Colca Valley, heading towards Nazca.
Pushed on by our local guide Carlos, I gasped my way up to the beautiful vistas of Machu Picchu, feeling the majesty and regret of the Inca king. I felt the historical sorrow in the Spanish-ified streets of Cusco and desperately chased condors through my camera's viewfinder in the Colca Valley. This travelogue recounts our 13-day journey feeling the breath of the Inca Empire.

[Comment from the Publisher]
Historical heritage sites are full of charm that bridges the past with the present and invites visitors to the romance of history. At the same time, they might profoundly characterize the present state of that nation. Through the journey of this book around the Incas, we hope that many readers will feel the history and the present of Peru.
