With a combination of doggedness and good fortune he stumbled on the perfectly preserved ruins of Machu Picchu perched on a cloud-capped ledge 2000 feet above the torrent of the Urubamba River. The buildings were of white granite, exquisitely carved blocks each higher than a man. Bingham had not, as it turned out, found Vilcabamba, but he had nevertheless made an astonishing and memorable discovery, which he describes in his bestselling book LOST CITY OF THE INCAS.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Hiram Bingham\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1842125850\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781842125854\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Phoenix\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/03\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 224\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 7.78h x 5.18w x 0.94d","brand":"Hiram Bingham","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44056850891007,"sku":"9781842125854","price":19.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bc84ed3-e78c-49e8-9bac-c323becac265.jpg?v=1685043609","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/lost-city-of-the-incas-hiram-bingham-9781842125854","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
