JULY 11: SACRED VALLEY OF THE INCA Spend the day exploring the archaeological sites and culture of the Sacred Valley in the company of National Geographic expert Peter Frost, who has lived and worked in Peru for decades. He (or occasionally a colleague, if he is in the field) joins us for a talk at the hotel and continues with us to Ollantaytambo, where massive stone walls stand sentry over a thriving Inca community. Lunch is nearby at a working, family-owned hacienda. Here we are also treated to a show of Peruvian Paso horses, and National Geographic grantee Nilda Callañaupa, founder of El Centro de Textiles Tradicionales de Cusco, joins us to demonstrate Inca weaving traditions.

Set at less than 8,000 feet, the sanctuary is set in a tropical mountain forest with diverse birds and orchids. Check-in at the historic 31-room Belmond Sanctuary

Lodge, adjacent to the World Heritage site, with the leisure to explore over the two days in the company of our hand-picked tour director and local guides. We linger after day-visitors are long gone. Lunch and dinner are at the Hotel's private Tampu Restaurant. (B,L,D)

After lunch, return through the valley to Cusco, center of the Inca universe and a burgeoning Andean cultural capital. Check-in at the Belmond Hotel Monasterio for two nights in the ancient heart of Cusco. Like many colonial-era buildings, our hotel—founded as a monastery in 1592—stands atop a fountain in the Inca-carved stone. (B,L,D)

DUKE FACULTY LEADER: DOUGLAS P. NOWACEK

Douglas P. Nowacek has several appointments and affiliations at Duke University. He is Randolph K. Repass and Sally-Christine Rodgers Professor of Marine Conservation Technology in Duke’s Nicholas School of the Environment; Professor of Electrical and Computer Engineering in Duke’s Edmund T. Pratt, Jr. School of Engineering; Professor at Duke Marine Lab; and Faculty Network Member of The Energy Initiative. Doug earned his Ph.D. in a joint program at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution in 1999, and his B.A. at Ohio Wesleyan University in 1991. His experience lies in marine mammals, technology development,

bioacoustics, behavioral ecology, foraging ecology. Sound propagates very efficiently through sea water, and marine mammals take advantage of this medium to communicate and explore their environment. His research is focused on the link between acoustic and motor behavior in marine mammals, primarily cetaceans and manatees, specifically, how they use sound in ecological processes. The cetaceans, or whales and dolphins, are divided into two main groups, the toothed whales (odontocetes) and the baleen whales (mysticetes). Doug has conducted bioacoustic and behavioral research with several species from both groups. Other focal points of Doug’s current research are the effects of anthropogenic ocean noise on marine mammals and the development of technologies for marine conservation research.
