Karen Eckart, Librarian, will discuss her travels in Peru. She will discuss ancient sites like Machu Picchu as well as the modern-day towns surrounding Lake Titicaca.
The program will be divided into four sections. First, a discussion about the pre-Incan peoples and the Inca, including the sites of Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu, and Cuzco. Second, talk about llamas, alpacas, and other Camelids. Third, a history of the conquest of Peru. Finally, some of the interesting things seen in modern-day Peru, including Lake Titicaca, the Uros floating islands, and a llama farm.
