SCREENING: Live Walking Tour of Machu Picchu (Ages 18+)

On Monday, July 13th at 6pm, join us for a screening of a walking tour of the lost city of the Incas — Machu Picchu.  This year’s Summer Reading Program theme is Unearth a Story – Dinosaurs, Archaeology & Paleontology.  Our adult events will focus mainly on ancient civilizations, their customs & historical sites.

The Lost City of Machu Picchu is a window to the past, through which we can know who built it: the Incas, an ancient civilization that created the most powerful empire in South America. While it took obvious skill to construct Machu Picchu, the city has also guarded its secrets well, hiding its true meaning and purpose.

Likely abandoned in the sixteenth century and invaded by the Andean forest throughout the proceeding years, Machu Picchu remained hidden to the world for centuries. The Spanish conquistadors never found it and the Incas who knew the location never revealed its existence and was forgotten.

The Lost City of Machu Picchu is a mysterious wonder.

Pre-registration is not required.  FREE.  Refreshments provided.
