Victor Wolfgang von Hagen (St-Louis, Missouri, USA, February 29, 1908 – Italy, March 8, 1985) was an American explorer, archaeological historian, anthropologist, and travel writer who traveled in South America with his wife (Christine, later Silvia). Mainly between 1940 and 1965, he published a large number of widely acclaimed books about the ancient people of the Inca, Maya, and Aztecs. In the early 1950s, he went for a two year exploration of Peru's ancient Inca roads and found the only surviving suspension bridge of this trail. His daughter, Adriana von Hagen, is co-director of a museum in Leymebamba (Peru). ==Works== * ''Alexander von Humboldt'' * ''Off With Their Heads'' (1937) * ''Ecuador the Unknown'' (1938) * ''The Tsátchela Indians of Western Ecuador'' (1939) * ''The Galapagos Islands and Charles Darwin: Notes on an Exhibition at the Bancroft Library'' (1939) * ''Quetzal Quest - The Story of the Capture of the Quetzal, the Sacred Bird of the Aztec and the Mayas'' (1939) * ''Jungle in the Clouds'' (1940) * ''Riches of South America'' (New World Neighbors) (1941) * ''Riches of Central America'' (New World Neighbors) (1942) * ''Paper and Civilization'' (''Scientific Monthly'', vol. 57, 1943) * ''Mexican Papermaking Plants'' (''Journal of the New York Botanical Gardens'', vol. 44, 1943) * ''The Jicaque Indians of Honduras'' (1943) * ''The Aztec and Maya Papermakers'' (1943) * ''South America Called Them: Explorations of the Great Naturalists: La Condamine, Humboldt, Darwin, Spruce'' (1945) * ''South American Zoo'' (1946) * ''F.Catherwood 1799-1854 - Architect-Explorer of Two Worlds'' (1946) * ''Maya Explorer: John Lloyd Stephens and the Lost Cities of Central America and Yucatán'' (1947) * ''The Green World of the Naturalists - A Treasury of Five Centuries of Natural History in South America'' (1948) * ''A Guide to Lima, the Capital of Peru'' (Guides to Peru) (1949) * ''A Guide to Cusco'' (Guides to Peru) (1949) * ''A Guide to Sacsahuaman: The Fortress of Cusco'' (Guides to Peru) (1949) * ''Ecuador and the Galápagos Islands: A History'' (1949) * ''Frederick Catherwood, Architect'' (1950) * ''Huancayo and Ayacucho'' (His Guide to Peru) (1950) * ''A Guide to Guayaquil'' (Guides to Ecuador) (1950) * ''A Guide to St Vincent'' (1950) * ''A Guide to Machu Picchu'' (Guides to Peru) (1952) * ''The Four Seasons Of Manuela.
