Also, insights into the true age of the most mysterious structures in Cusco and Machu Picchu are revealed; they predate the Inca by thousands of years You will be guided virtually through all of the famous, and some lesser known sites, and will learn things that most Cusco tour guides know nothing...

I wrote this book after 5 years of research living in Cusco and the Sacred Valley. It covers all of the important Inca sites, as well as those that are far older than the Inca, but are attributed to them by most academics. It is a virtual guide of sorts; there are so many photos in it that the reader need never physically visit the sites, and if you do, will find them easily. There is much more to Cusco than Machu Picchu, which is also described thoroughly here.
