Cut Stones and Crossroads

– A Journey in Peru –

“Traveling through Peru, tracing the history of the Incas from the royal cities of Cusco and Machu Pachu to the site of the Incas’ mythical origin, Lake Titicaca, Ronald Wright encounters a country of contrasts – between Spanish and Indian, between past and present, between coast and mountainous interior.

In his entertaining and perceptive account, Wright explores the history and archaeology of Peru, and chronicles with humor the traveler’s inevitable – and often unsatisfied – search for food, lodging, and transportation. Wright brings to life a complex culture, a land of ancient traditions trying to find its place in the modern world.”
