When you find yourself trying to remember a show (or any works) that's on the tip of your tongue but just out of reach, come here - the collective brain of the TVTropes community can probably help. Post all the details you can remember (examples help). If you're looking for a trope, head over to Trope Finder. Have general questions about tropes? Visit Ask The Tropers!
Were the characters hand-drawn or CGI? Someone made a query here a while back for something similar to what you described. The answer was a show called Doodle. I don't know if they traveled to Maccu Picchu since this show focused on art and not geography/world history, and it came out in the late nineties, but is this what you are looking for?

I can vividly recall an episode of a kids show about office supplies that travelled to Machu Picchu in an episode, and talked about an ancient form of communication involving strings and knots.
I remember there were about four characters; a pen, a pencil, and a paperclip, but I can't remember the fourth character if there was one. I watched it in fourth grade around 2010-2011. Can anyone help me out? It's an American cartoon and I've scoured ever possible search query I can think of.
