Abstract

Three kinds of travelers—tourists, sojourners and scholars—have contributed to understanding the Urubamba Valley. Generations of tourists have captured reproducible images and impressions they share with others in a variety of formats. As a category, sojourners have more deeply penetrated the valley than tourists and many have left valuable accounts. Among them are E. de Sartigues, C. Markham, L. Saint-Cricq (aka P. Marcoy), E. Squier, A. Raimondi, J. Samanezy Ocampo, C. Wiener, E. Middendorf, J. Bryce, H. Chalmers Adams and H. Franck. Researchers, the most intellectually focused of Urubamba visitors, have narrower objectives than sojourners have. Prominent among them are archaeologists who have retrieved the valley past and cultural anthropologists who have done the same for the present. Several deceased scientists in different fields receive in this chapter particular discussion: I. Bowman, American geographer; C. Bües, agronomist and mapmaker of German origin; C. Vargas, Peruvian botanist; C. Sauer, American geographer; and F. Chapman, American ornithologist. Observations by travelers with different objectives explain how and why certain kinds of knowledge have accrued, but in all cases they have provided a baseline for the study of change.

Fortunato Herrera Garmendia (1873–1945) was born in Cusco and studied at its university where Dr. Antonio Lorena inspired him to become a plant scientist. Herrera began teaching botany there in 1912 and in 1929 became rector of the university. In 1933 he left Cusco to join the Faculty of Science at the Universidad Mayor de San Marcos in Lima.
