A finely detailed coffee table book conceived as homage to the 100 year anniversary of the scientific discovery of Machu Picchu. It includes: a) more than 300 never before published photos by famous Peruvian photographer, Walter H. Wust, taken over a period of one year as he surveyed the sacred city on foot and horseback, and in a helicopter and hot air balloon b) a special portfolio containing the best plates of Martin Chambi, a photographer from Cusco, c) texts written by the most noted specialists in archeology and history like Federico Kauffmann Doig, Elias Mujica, and Kim MacQuarrie, d) a folder of orchid pictures, even species new to science, prepared by the expert Benjamin Collantes, e) new conservation and management proposals for the Historical Sanctuary by Roger Valencia and Jose Koechlin, and much, much more. It's a real collector's piece.
