From UFOTV®, accept no imitations. Researcher David Hatcher Childress and his investigative team head down the Pan American Highway from Lima to Ica and Nazca.

The team then journeys to Cuzco in central Peru and visit the megalithic sites of Ollantaytambo, Machu Picchu and Sacsayhuaman, including a special examination of megalithic rock quarry near the Inca Trail.
