The Vice President of the National Geographic Society Global Media-Travel, Dawn Drew, revealed that a NatGeo production team is currently in Peru working in some videos, in order to divulge in the US the latest findings in the Sacred Valley.

She also said that NatGeo has printed a Peru map including valuable information about our country, and the copies will be handed it to the Peruvian government, to be used in promotion and education campaigns.

Dawn Drew also said that they are having talks with Peru's MINCETUR in order to make a TV series to divulge the latest discoveries, researches and studies taking place now in Cusco.

Their goal is to broadcast these programs before the centenary of Machu Picchu's discovery, in 2011.

Though I live in Uganda, East Africa, I fell in love with Machu Picchu because of its beauty and importance in Peru and the world. I am therefore very intrested in knowing what actually is in offing at this historic site especially when it is by the great NatGeog my favourate publisher since the early 1970s.

Best regards

Let's hope our local citizens in Cuzco don't decide to have one of their monthly paros and block the roads, trains and break windows, burn tires etc.  Oh, I forgot, let's hope the don't rob the production team like they did in their hotel in Ica when the National Geographic team was filming a documentary at the Nazca lines.  Did I mention they (30+ people) were robbed in their hotel rooms at 4am at gunpoint?  What a total embarassment.

Hopefully the NatGeo team doesn't get robbed again because their presence was announced by the local news papers.

We are currently traveling through Peru on an around the world trip.  Macchu Picchu is next.  We are definitely looking forward to it.
