Jackpot!!!! I go to the page and lo an behold, I find this!
The national library is having an International Symposium entitled "Discovering Machu Pichu!" I am kinda disappointed now that I am not arriving until the early weee hours of the 25th....but I think that some of the group might be able to catch this! So here is the link to the 'Biblioteca Nacional de Peru'. I believe that if you use Google Chrome as a browser that it will even translate the page for you into English.
It is within walking distance of the "Historic Downtown" and the "Plaza San Martin" so most likely you will find yourself in this area. Here is a link to the Google map.
The bad news is that I have yet to be able to find any soccer matches. It appears as though the season is ending before we get there. As the 'Copa America' (similar to the 'Gold Cup' for CONCACAF or the Euro Cup for UEFA in Europe) is being played in Argentina starting on the 1st of July...perhaps the league has shut down for that? I must apologize....I am no Peruvian futbol expert (why bother I figure when all the Argentine teams beat them anyways!). If anyone finds anything let me know!
Oh boy....getting excited!
So it looks thought it is an exposition that anyone can go see! The websites aren't clear whether there is a cost other than to say that it documents maps made as Bingham explored.
