Going to Peru and need some additional reading? Already been to Peru and would like some material to reinforce those connections you’ve made as a traveler? Below I’ve complied the titles I read prior to my recent adventure to the Land of the Incas. They are full of sensory details, cultural references, environmental relationships, historical facts and more.
I hope you’ll find these as insightful as I did. I encourage they be used as supplemental reading for your formal destination research. Remember, a wise traveler is an educated one.
