This should be a straightforward themed puzzle.  The seeds were the grid-spanners.  For your watching pleasure, here are links to 6 Down and 33 Down.  Please enjoy and, if you do and aren’t already a “follower” of this blog, sign up – the blog might get a boost in search algorithms and you’ll get an email whenever I post a new puzzle (almost always twice a week). Win-win!

I constructed this puzzle while on vacation in Peru touring Machu Picchu (picture above) and other Inca sites, which accounts for the two seeds (20 and 56 Across, with 3 Down thrown in for good measure).  If you ever have the opportunity, go!  Peru is a diverse, beautiful, welcoming country, and the Inca sites barely scratch the surface of what to see.  Plus, the food is outstanding!
