Inca Land: Explorations in the Highlands of Peru
Produced by Jeroen Hellingman
"Inca Land: Explorations in the Highlands of Peru" by Hiram Bingham is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book chronicles Bingham's fascinating journeys through southern Peru, exploring the remnants of the Incan civilization and traversing diverse terrains, from the deserts to the heights of the Andes. It promises to shed light on the mysteries surrounding the Incas, their architecture, and the landscapes they inhabited. The opening of the work sets a vivid scene of Bingham’s motivations and experiences leading up to his explorations. Beginning with the inspiration drawn from a book about a bridge of the Apurimac Valley, Bingham recounts how he became intrigued by the hidden past of the Incas. He discusses his travels, including acclimatizing to varying altitudes and climates, and hints at the dangers and challenges faced during his expeditions. The narrative includes references to his companions and the multifaceted environment he encountered, hinting at the complex interplay between exploration and the untold history he seeks to uncover in the highlands of Peru.
