(Concocted News) Peru, Indiana--Peru Indiana officials saying they have embarked on a plan to attract more tourists to the Northern Indiana town by naming a steep driveway in the town, Machu Picchu.
Hank Jones, who owns the property on which the driveway is located, was surprised by the move. "Apparently my driveway is now like an ancient, sacred Incan site," he said. "I guess I should move the Silverado to the back of house."
Peru tourism officials hope the move to name the drive Machu Picchu will momentarily confuse people unfamiliar with South America or Incans. Stew Jenkins, who heads the tourism board explained, "We even bought a llama to add to the effect. We expect if all goes as planned, that our Machu Picchu could draw up to 17 people a year."
Although that doesn't sound impressive, it should be noted that the real Machu Pichu located in the country of Peru attracts only 24 visitors per year.
