On the tails of its airplanes they will show pictures
from the cities that they are going to fly to.

MachuPichu is a place in Mexico which were inhabitied by the Incas some many many years ago.

The incas king was kidnapped for a ransom of a room full of gold

No, it isn't.

Machu Picchu is a place in Peru, not Mexico.

Like it looks now I will fly them in November this year depending on their prices since TACA and Lan Peru are pretty expensive at this moment.
Slightly off-topic, Some correct info regarding Machu Picchu:

Machu Picchu is a city located high in the Andes Mountains in modern Peru. It lies 43 miles northwest of Cuzco at the top of a ridge, hiding it from the Urabamba gorge below. The ridge is between a block of highland and the massive Huaynac Picchu, around which the Urubamba River takes a sharp bend. The surrounding area is covered in dense bush, some of it covering Pre-Colombian cultivation terraces.

Machu Picchu (which means "manly peak") was most likely a royal estate and religious retreat. It was built between 1460 and 1470 AD by Pachacuti Inca Yupanqui, an Incan ruler. The city has an altitude of 8,000 feet, and is high above the Urubamba River canyon cloud forest, so it likely did not have any administrative, military or commercial use.
