An important addition to the annals of archaeological exploration in the high Andes of Peru by architect/explorer Vincent R. Lee describing lost Vilcabamba, the once-powerful Incas' mysterious redoubt in the jungles of the Upper Amazon. Woven together are the region's bloody history in the aftermath of the Spanish Conquest, the saga of intrepid early efforts to unlock Vilcabamba's secrets three centuries later and the author's long but successful campaign to bring the hidden ruins of the Incas' long-forgotten final stronghold back to life.
A modern-day scientific adventure set against a fascinating historical backdrop, "Forgotten Vilcabamba" has 452 pages, including over 60 illustrated maps and drawings. For more information about Vince Lee and his explorations in Vilcabamba, read Kim MacQuarrie's book, 'The Last Days of the Incas, ' available at lastdaysoftheincas.com.
