I purchased this book about a month before a planned Inca Trail hike/trek and I must say this book was EXTREMELY helpful in EVERY regard in preparing me (both physically and mentally!) for the hike. Not only did it include plentiful information and facts regarding things like altitude effects, physical preparedness musts and extensive lists of items for the trek, but it narrated an almost kilometer-by-kilometer (more so day by day) synopsis of what I'd see and how the trail would proceed (curve here, climb there for X amount of time, etc.). The volumes I learned from this reader helped me mentally prepare myself for the Inca Trail challenge...I HIGHLY encourage anyone planning the trek to purchase this reader: a lot of valuable information paired with the fact that the reader is lightweight and waterproof (good things when bringing it on a 4 day/3 night hike!) make it a worthwhile purchase.

Bought this for my wife as she prepared for a trip to Peru last November. She recently told me that she forgot to say how really valuable this book was - giving her ideas of what to expect before going, providing daily information along the trail (even though she mostly focused on just getting through each soggy day) and reminds her (in a good way) of the trip. She really enjoyed it. One tip - be in really good shape and train at altitude if possible.

I've been waiting for this to come in for weeks. I just received an e-mail today that they don't have it to sell...why is this page still here?
