1. Good all around trail guide. Includes accurate GPS coordinates. Trail ratings are ok. The trip odometer settings are great if you don't have a GPS.

   Photographs: Poetry Without Words

   Graphic, explicit, vivid, stark - which of these adjectives describes best the photographs in the book Look Close, See Far: A Cultural Portrait of the Maya by Bruce T. Martin? Perhaps real is the suitable description. But can photographs be real? Isn't that a contradiction in terms? Feasibly it would be more apropos to define this photographer as a realist, who, in 1987, began a twenty-year journey through his own misconceptions concerning an indigenous people of whom he was only superficially aware.
   In a recent interview, Martin revealed the following:
   "I stepped into the Maya world, and there was revealed the long, beautiful, rich, complicated, history and culture that they hold. One of my favorite aspects of this project was going there and the feeling of being overwhelmed by the Maya people and their story. I can't put it in words but I have tried to put it into my photography. That awakening and what I have learned in this project has changed me and helped me to see life in a different light. It also made me realize how little of this world I really know or understand, but at the same time inspires me to continue on and learn more.''

1. This book takes the reader on a journey through several cities and archeological sites of Peru. The archeological information is wonderful and there is a large bibliography, glossary of Quechua terms as well as a discography of Andean music. Some of the descriptions will take your breath away with the beauty of the picture he paints and the skillfully crafted writing. This thoughtful book goes beneath the skin and touches the soul of Peru. A must-read before going to Peru!

1. Not a tourist friendly map. Not much detail of downtown. It is only a map without help to understand the city or the major attractions.
