The ruins of the Incas and other pre-Colombian civilisations are scattered over thousands of miles of still largely uncharted territory, particularly in the Eastern Andes, where the mountains fall away towards the Amazon. Twenty years ago, Hugh Thomson set off into the cloud-forest on foot to find a ruin that had been carelessly lost again after its initial discovery.

It is also the story of the great explorers in whose footsteps he followed, such as Hiram Bingham and Gene Savoy. 694886 2003 The White Rock total:84|5:24|4:36|3:15|2:9|1:0| 84 327 121 33 5 1 true false Sat Jan 01 00:00:00 -0800 2005 Fri Aug 17 13:40:10 -0700 2007 Fri Aug 17 13:54:03 -0700 2007 4 0 false false Mon Sep 28 00:00:00 -0700 2009 Tue Aug 04 14:55:12 -0700 2009 Mon Sep 28 17:52:06 -0700 2009 ...more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Oct 07 12:06:14 -0700 2008 Sun Oct 05 11:02:43 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 12:06:14 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 5 0 false false Wed Oct 01 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sun Sep 28 19:56:19 -0700 2008 Tue Oct 07 09:35:48 -0700 2008 1 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sat Jul 26 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 19 15:44:52 -0700 2008 Sat Jul 26 12:49:33 -0700 2008 more...]]> 4 0 false false Fri Apr 04 00:00:00 -0700 2008 Wed Jun 25 15:00:00 -0700 2008 Fri Jun 27 17:30:26 -0700 2008
