Pacaritambo

The Machu Picchu Magazine and Bookstore

How To Use This Site & General Information

About us:
We are a small online bookseller (just outside Austin, Texas) who started out as a magazine dedicated to the Ancient Americas (with emphasis on the Inca civilization). When the magazine lost its free host, we started selling books to pay the online fees to keep the magazine afloat. Soon the book selling took over and the magazine languished. Now, we are back with a combination magazine and bookstore. We hope you enjoy both. Suggestions, complaints, and kudos are always welcome.

Our logo is the head of a Moche tumi (sacrificial knife) and Pacaritambo is the cave out of which the first Incas came into this world.

Shipping:

• We try to keep shipping costs as close to actual cost as possible - smaller paperbacks cost less to ship so that is reflected in stated shipping cost within the listing.
• If you order more than one book, actual cost will be charged and a refund on shipping will me made
• INTERNATIONAL ORDERS: You need to email us for shipping cost and payment instructions. Smaller global priority packages are charged at $ 11.50 each; larger would have to be determined. Our US Postal system became exceedingly greedy this year and the price of international shipping went way up. Air Mail to countries that do not allow global priority will have to be determined.
