About the Author

Kim MacQuarrie is a multiple Emmy Award-winnng documentary filmmaker, a writer, and an anthropologist who has made films in such disparate regions as Siberia, Papua New Guinea, and Peru. MacQuarrie is the author of three previous books on Peru and lived in that country for five years, exploring many of the locations and hidden regions he chronicles in The Last Days of the Incas. During that time, MacQuarrie lived with a recently contacted tribe of indigenous Amazonians called the Yora. It was MacQuarrie’s experience filming a nearby tribe, whose ancestors still remembered their contacts with the Inca Empire, that ultimately led him to investigate and then to write The Last Days of the Incas.
