This is the most comprehensive, user-friendly trekking guide to Peru
available. Peru's mountains offer the most varied and dramatic treks in
South America with the added attraction of Pre-Columbian ruins along the
way. Celebrating 40 years of Bradt, this unique guidebook is based on
the Peru section of the very first Bradt guide. All the original treks
have been re-walked and new off-the-beaten-track routes added. Ideal for
both backpackers and those in an organized group, it describes over 50
mountain treks and day walks with background information and travelers'
tales. Special boxes throughout the text cover topics from guinea pigs
to trekking with children.
