BBC Radio 4
on BBC Radio 4 FM

Simon Calder concludes his trek through the Peruvian Andes en route to the remote valley which sheltered the last Inca emperor from the Spanish invaders.

Calder finally reaches the ruined city. With the help of a machete he uncovers amazing sculpted stones and discovers why terracotta roof tiles were such a vital clue in the archaeological arguments over the site of Vilcabamba.
