Books

Hugh’s first book was The White Rock:  An Exploration of the Inca Heartland.

An expedition to a remote part of the Himalayas resulted in Nanda Devi: A Journey to the Last Sanctuary.

He then returned to Peru for Cochineal Red which described his discoveries of Inca ruins and was an investigation into the earliest beginnings of civilisation in Ancient Peru.

His most recent books are:  Tequila Oil, an account of ‘getting lost in Mexico’ when young, which was serialised by BBC Radio 4;

and a large format book with his selection of 50 Wonders of the World.
