Upon arrival most likely in the evening, you will be met at the airport and transferred to your boutique accommodations in the beautiful neighborhood of Miraflores. • No meals – Casa Andina Private Collection or similar, Traditional Room MAR 26 Parks & Sites of Lima Visit Lima’s exquisite natural sites and museums during a full-day guided exploration of the city. At Parque de las Leyendas wander through the botanical gardens filled with over 3,200 species, as well as visit the local animals in the associated zoo. Marvel at the fascinating Larco Museum, located in a restored mansion with artifacts from more than 5,000 years of Peruvian history. Enjoy learning about the rituals, hearing the ancient stories, and seeing the treasures of the Peruvian past. After a delicious lunch, continue exploring renowned parklands and gardens of this vibrant city. See Parque del Amor with its intricate mosaic benches, stroll along the Malecón for majestic views of the bay, and soak in the beautiful colonial architecture of the streets. Enjoy Lima’s delectable cuisine during dinner at Huaca Pucllana to close out the day. • B, L, D – Casa Andina Private Collection or similar, Traditional Room MAR 27 Chinchero Village & Garden Oasis In the morning an approximately hour and a half flight takes you to the former Incan capital of Cusco. After a light lunch, drive out of the city towards snow-capped Andean peaks and to the picturesque village of Chichero, a scenic area predominated by high-altitude indigenous farming and weaving communities. In the town of Chinchero visit vibrant markets and admire ancient Incan ruins. Continuing deeper into the Sacred Valley of the Incas, check-in to your oasis at Sol y Luna. Enjoy the afternoon to relax in their verdant gardens while acclimatizing to the altitude (the Sacred Valley is lower than Cusco and therefore the perfect place to gradually acclimatize). A local plant specialist will also guide you on a curated garden walk through the beautifully landscaped grounds filled with native flora. Spot hummingbirds and other native bird species nestled amongst the peaceful garden paths, admire the Kunata Wasi folk art collection, or perhaps relax in the sauna, all with the spectacular Andes mountains as a backdrop. • B, L – Sol y Luna or similar, Casita Superior MAR 28 Indigenous Andean Communities Journey through the Sacred Valley past the remote Andean communities of Calca, Coya, Lamay until you arrive to one of Peru’s largest and most vibrant markets in Pisac village. Explore the many stalls as you bargain with Andean campesinos for handcrafted wares. Continue your cultural immersion as you head to the nearby Amaru community. This local community holds strongly to their ancient customs and practices a largely subsistence lifestyle on the slopes of the Andes. The Amaru will proudly open their village to you, where you will learn of their lifestyle and traditions. Take part in gathering plants used as natural dyes, learn of their medicinal and culinary properties, and see how the Amaru’s world-renowned textiles are woven and brought to life. After staying for lunch with the community leaders, if you are still energized you can enjoy a gentle hike through the extensive Inca terracing down the mountainside. If you prefer you can hop in the van as well, and soon arrive to the Pisac ruins. Revel in the excellent preservation of the ancient structures, believed to be part ceremonial center and part military complex in days gone by. • B, L – Sol y Luna or similar, Casita Superior MAR 29 Ancient Agricultural Sites & Lake Piuray Contemplate the mysteries of the Inca at three unique sites of the Sacred Valley today. At Moray, marvel at the agricultural terraces of the little-known site thought to be an ancient Incan agricultural laboratory. From Moray continue by van or by hiking (dependent on your preference and weather conditions) to the fascinating site of Maras to see ancient saltpans still being harvested in the traditional way. In the afternoon, head to the shores of Lake Piuray, where stones will have been heating for 5 hours in preparation of the pachamanca, an ancient celebratory meal steeped in tradition. The chef explains the customs as well as the dish, and you can participate in KNOWMAD ADVENTURES, INC. | 911 W. 36th St., Minneapolis, MN 55408 | [email protected] | 1 877 616 8747 | www.KnowmadAdventures.com ITINERARY: LOST LANDS OF THE INCA this elaborate and unique preparation technique. After these culturally rich experiences you will be transferred back to your accommodations to enjoy the evening at your leisure. • B, L – Sol y Luna or similar, Casita Superior MAR 30 Machu Picchu Board the train that chugs along the Urubamba River and parts of the Inca Trail, to arrive at Aguas Calientes, the town near the base of Machu Picchu. The incredibly vast archeological site of Machu Picchu – lost to the world until well into the twentieth century – is perched amidst Andean peaks and lush cloud forest making it one of the most breathtaking sights in the world. Begin to unlock the mystery of the Inca with a complete guided exploration of the site, as well as time to explore the ruins on your own. Revel in the awe-inspiring beauty of the structures and stories of Machu Picchu. In the evening relax at your unique accommodations tucked away in the cloud forest. Wander the lush gardens overlooking the Vilcanota River, lounge by the fireplace surrounded by Andean tapestries, or perhaps visit the luxurious spa. • B, L, D – Machu Picchu Pueblo Hotel or similar, Superior Room MAR 31 Orchid Trail & Ollantaytambo Discover why the orchid plant family captivates the human imagination during a curated garden walk through nearly 400 native orchid species on the surrounding grounds of your hotel. Along the Orchid Trail, bask in the scents and the collage of colors at one of the world’s largest collections, with orchids to amaze both the newly inquisitive and the expert.

  • The Pluriserial Ribeira Magmatic System 590, Se / S Brazil and Uruguay*
    Revista Brasileira de Geociencias 28(4):533-542, dezembro de 1998 THE PLURISERIAL RIBEIRA MAGMATIC SYSTEM 590, SE / S BRAZIL AND URUGUAY* EBERHARD WERNICK Abstract The Pluriserial Ribeira Magmatic System-590 (PRMS-590) which acted in the Late Precambrian Ribeira Belt in SE/S Brazil, and Uruguay about 580 - 610 Ma ago, is described and discussed. The system, developed during the Post-Collisional Mentation & Uplift evolutional stage of the Ribeira Belt, comprises mainly six groups (series) of high-K rocks: (1) alkali-calcic Caledonian I-type metaluminous (quartz) monzonites & syenites and monzo-, syeno- & alkali-feldspar granites; (2) alkali-calcic metaluminous (quartz) monzonites & syenites and monzo-, syeno- & alkali-feldspar rapakivi granites; (3) shoshonitic metaluminous ± fayalite ± pyroxene ± hornblende ± biotite (quartz) monzonites & syenites and monzo-, syeno-& alkali-feldspar granites sometimes with rare late crystallised mafic soda minerals; (4) peralkaline mafic soda minerals bearing (quartz) monzonites & syenites and monzo-, syeno- & alkali-feldspar granites with or without ± fayalite ± pyroxene ± hornblende ± biotite; (5) K-alkaline metaluminous suites of ± (quartz) gabbros & monzogabbros ± (quartz) monzodiorites & diorites ± (quartz) monzonites & syenites and granites and (6) ultrapotassic under- and oversaturated monzonites & syenites with variable amounts of orthopyroxene. These rocks are either of lower crustal (1,2, and possibly 3) or mantelic origin (4, 5, 6), a fact which indicates the simultaneous melting of lower crust and secondary enriched mantle during that time. Several tectonic, geochemical and isotopic aspects are presented to show the internal coherence of the PRMS-590. Keywords: Ribeira Fold Belt, Brasiliano Cycle (Late Precambrian), Magmatic System, SE/S Brazil, and Uruguay, High-K rocks INTRODUCTION A Magmatic System is here defined as "the sitions are from Machado & Endo (1993), Endo & Machado (1993, sum of all magmatic phenomena occurred in a considered time span 1995), and Machado (1997), among several other authors.
