  1. Cable Car Ride

The Inca people built Machu Picchu high up in the mountains because the area was so remote. Now these pristine mountains will be changed forever by Swiss engineering. A Swiss company plans to build a cable car to lift visitors 500m up into the mountains. This means that travellers will no longer have to trek for days along the Inca Trail to sample the magic of Machu Picchu.

Opponents to the scheme argue that the cable car will be visible from the site’s famous Sun Temple. There is also a wider concern that big business tourism will benefit from the scheme, while local inhabitants who earn little money from tourism will not.

UNESCO would like to see the development of eco-tourism rather than mass tourism in the area. The Peruvian government on the other hand supports the cable car scheme, saying that it will allow it to go ahead, and it will see that the character of Machu Picchu is preserved.
