Summary: Photographer, traveller Ethan Hubbard's dreams of the mysterious world of the Incas lead him to the Peruvian village of Ollantaytambo, the very last of the Incan villages to be continuously inhabited since ancient, perhaps even pre-Incan times. But in contemporary Peru, the mystics, shamans, and charlatans of the Sacred Valley of the Incas soon transform Hubbard's travel adventure into a more complicated quest. He works and celebrates with the Quechua Indians and campesinos of this spiritual gathering plac, visits the ancient healers, and confronts thieves, con-men, and his own chimerical preceptions.
