Original Toronto Star caption: Tourist goldmine: Pery is a dreadfully poor country but; for the traveller; it's one of the world's richest. Everyday sights include: Little shepherd (top left) minding his charges in the shadow of terracs built by the Incas and still in use today. Cuzco's Santo Domingo Church (top right) stands on the site of the Inca Temple of the Sun. Indians working at the side of the road (bottom) sell some of the best alpaca sweaters and shawls you can buy at bargain prices.

Clare and Bob Duck run Bob's Truck Stop in Campbellville for men who drove cross-country trucks, not for tourists. It's good, plain, solid food cooked to keep a trucker satisfied for the next 300 miles. Mrs. Duck says. Tourists tend to eat lighter foods like salads. Duck is a mechanic and worked in the Arctic for 13 years, taking supplies in by cat train. They opened the restaurant in January.
