Book about the Quecha people
However, there is not much in the book about Machu Picchu. This is a pretty good book on the Quecha culture of Peru. So the title is a bit misleading. If you are looking for information about the historical and spiritual culture of Peru, this book, along with Return of the Children of Light, and Masters of the Living Energy: The Mystical world of the Q'ero of Peru, are your best bets. If you are looking for detailed information on Machu Picchu you should look at The Machu Picchu Guidebook: A Self-Guided Tour.

A touching spiritual guide
A mixture of folk lore, the authors' personal experience, stories from living Quechuans (the direct blood line of the Inca), this book isn't for everyone. Journey to Machu Picchu is not a travel guide, but a glimpse at the magic and spirituality of the Peruvian Andes. But, if you're interested in the spritual aspect of Machu Picchu or the Andes, then this is required reading.

gently informative
Filling the reader with an understanding of why Machu Picchu intrigues so many people, encouraging a deeper love for the region. Carol and Romulo have writen a beautiful description about an wounderful location.
