In every atlas there is a country missing from the maps of South America: the Andean nation. For five months John Harrison journeys through this secret country, walking alone into remote villages where he is the first gringo the inhabitants have ever seen, & where life continues as if Columbus had never sailed. He lives at over 10, 000 feet for most of the trip, following the great road of the Incas: the Camino Real, or Royal Road. Hand built over 500 years ago, it crosses the most difficult & dangerous mountains in all the Americas, diving into sweltering canyons & soaring up into the snows. 1500 miles, half of it on foot, takes him from the Equator to Cuzco & the most magical city of all: Machu Picchu.
