Book Summary
Within this beautifully designed book is a collection of breathtaking photos that capture at once the wonder and the universal and timeless significance of this rare and inspiring place. In June 2007, photographer Mike Torrey received an offer that would fulfill a life-long dream: to travel to Machu Picchu at the solstice. For three days and four more during a subsequent trip during the December solstice, Torrey processed this life-affecting experience in the only way he knew — through the lens of his camera.
Peruvian born author Marie Arana has written a passionate and insightful introduction to this coffee table book of photography that appears in both English and Spanish. Stone Offerings is the perfect coffee table book to give to those who have seen the magic of Peru’s Machu Picchu — and for those who still long to go!
