Following in the footsteps of explorer Hiram Bingham, Dan embarks on an incredible adventure through the cloud forest of the Andes to reveal the mysteries of Machu Picchu and the mighty Inca civilization.
In this series he takes listeners to Peru's city in the clouds, chronicling the way this extraordinary citadel was unveiled to the world at the turn of the 20th century. He traverses Peru to explore the meteoric rise of the Inca Empire, how it conquered peoples and lands from the Pacific to the Amazon, its formidable rulers, mastery over the landscape and ingenuity. He stares into the face of the Inca as he meets Juanita the Ice Mummy, a victim of child sacrifice and delves into their world of oracles, astronomy and chilling rituals. When the Spanish arrived the Inca Empire- one of the most powerful on Earth- fell spectacularly. Dan and his expert guests reveal how.
