Trees and Bushes from the Sacred Valley of the Incas

This book is a field guide for identifying the most important trees and shrubs of the Cusco mountains. It covers the region between 8,200 and 11,480 feet above sea level. This region was the birthplace of the Inca Empire and other prehispanic cultures, and the main economic and cultural activities of the Andean people today take place here. The text is in both English and Spanish; in a 5.7 x 8 inch format on coated gloss paper; 102 pages, with 2 graphs and 136 color photographs. All the trees and shrubs described in this book can be found around the city of Cusco, along the Urubamba Valley, and in the first stretch of the Inca Trail that leads to Machu Picchu.
