Explorer Hiram Bingham III was convinced that he would discover the lost Inca city of Vilcapampa in the mountains of Peru. Instead, led by a Quechua boy, he uncovered the ruins of another city: Machu Picchu. Full-page watercolor illustrations and deft narration by Caldecott Honor-winner Ted Lewin make this book as lovely as it is informative.
