The Decentralized Direction of Culture of Cusco announced that the places where the access will be restricted are the temple of the sun, the temple of the condor and the pyramid of the intiwatana.
The DDC indicated that this test is “for strict reasons of conservation and sustainable use of the main architectural ensembles” that make up Machu Picchu, in order to preserve it from the great tourist demand.
Recently the Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism commissioned a series of studies on alternatives in order to facilitate the transit of tourists through Machu Picchu, including a cable car or a system of tunnels and elevators that must be evaluated by the Machu Picchu Management Unit.
