About this listen

Writer for the New York Times and GQ, Mark Adams is also the acclaimed author of Mr. America. In this fascinating travelogue, Adams follows in the controversial footsteps of Hiram Bingham III, who’s been both lionized and vilified for his discovery of the famed Lost City in 1911 - but which reputation is justified?

Extremely Interesting and Very Humorous and Witty.

My wife and I really enjoyed this book tremendously. The narration is fantastic as is the book itself.

Wonderfully narrated, compelling story

I picked up this audiobook in anticipation of hiking the Inca Trail. The narration is wonderful, story compelling and I honestly cannot imagine not reading this book before going to Peru. Five stars

Too long, too thin

The material on this book would have been great for a couple of articles in a magazine.

Stretching the material over 50 chapters, and constantly flipping between historical information and descriptions of trips is brutal.

The entire book feels contrived and disjointed.
