I read this book after my first trip to Cuzco. I deeply regret that I did not read it prior to my trip. While some will undoubtedly find it a bit technical at times, it is concise, easily readable, highly informative, and often fascinating. Chapter 12, "The Mummies of the Royal Inca," was one of the most interesting bits of reading I've enjoyed in some time. I very highly recommend this book.

I truely wish I had read this book before I traveled to Cusco. I think I owuld have appreciated some of the things I saw more. This is THE history of Cusco, with particular emphasis on what the city used to look like, where buildings were, etc.

This is a must read if you are going down to Cuzco. Good up to date history of the area.
