The White Rock: An Exploration of the Inca Heartland
Just a great read with lots of insights into the current native culture and the gringos that come to learn about it

Entertaining book about the Incas
For a well-written, informative, and painless way to learn a lot about the Inca civilization of Peru and the explorers who discovered it, this may be the best book around.
