Let's Go Up! released in January 2009 is a children's nature picture book encouraging travelers to inspire children to explore the world

If you have climbed Putucusi and Huayna Picchu, or only climbed one due to time limitations, this book will bring back memories of foliage, ruins, and the mystical area of Machu Picchu and Aguas Calientes.

Children are so focused on technology today, let's instead divert their attention for a moment to the wonders of nature and one of the exquisit man made Seven Wonders of the World. Inspiring children to have a love for nature and a thirst for traveling will instill a true appreciation of the preservation of our environment. This book can be used by travelers to share experiences with their children, nieces, nephews, grandchildren, and friends.

This book is also useful for those planning a Peru travel trip. For those who would like an idea of what to expect when exploring the Machu Picchu area, this book answer's these questions through photographs. Perhaps you have heard about the ladders on Putucusi mountain and ropes or cables that provide a sense of security. Perhaps you have heard of the possible death drops-should you slip while climbing Huayna Picchu.

Well, the problem is everyone has a different sense of what steep actually means. Everyone has a different interpretation of what difficult means. Photos often say more than words. The photos of Putucusi Mountain and Huayna Picchu Mountain included in this book can give you an idea of what to expect.

That being said, while many people do turn back while climbing, the fact is: if you can walk and time permits you can accomplish both climbs: Putucusi Mountain and Huayna Picchu Mountain. Elderly persons of age 68+ have climbed at their own steady pace. So, in the long run, we realize it is our mind that is the real stumbling block in overcoming Putucusi and Huayna Picchu.

Descending Putucusi Mountain, we came accross a man who looked like a football player in his twenties or thirties and he desperately pleaded with us, "There aren't anymore ladders are there?" You must control your mind while climbing.

Climbing Machu Picchu, Huayna Picchu and Putucusi Mountains - You are not a tourist. You are a traveler - (From the Author) For my first trip to Machu Picchu, the famous Inca Ruins located in the Andean mountains of Peru, I thought I would save time by paying the extra expense to arrive by helicopter. Instead, I spent a nerve wracking morning desperately waiting for fog to clear; wondering if I had traveled all this way only to find I would not reach my destination. Luckily, the fog finally cleared. But the clearing had come too late. I was not able to climb Huayna Picchu, the featured peak in most classic photos of Machu Picchu, so I was determined to return. When planning my return trip, I discovered one can also climb Putucusi Mountain. I immediately recognized Putucusi as the mountain mystically surrounded by fog in many of my previous photos. I wanted to go up. My return trip not only allowed time for more scenic places, it yielded some of the most captivating experiences of my life. The sights, sounds, disposition of the Inca ruins, and splendor of the peaks themselves, made it ever so clear why Machu Picchu became one of the New Seven Wonders of the World on July 7, 2007. Discovering and experiencing the unique climbs up Huayna Picchu and Putucusi Mountains was thrilling. No longer a tourist, I was now a traveler. This book, focused on two climbable mountains (Putucusi and Huayna Picchu) overlooking the great Peruvian ruins, seeks to inspire exploration and the love of climbing in young children. I also hope adult travelers will use this book both as an informational guide for climbing expectations and to share their own personal nature experiences with young children, encouraging them to explore the world.
