Tourism is one of the main economic activities of the country, but this does not mean that it is completely positive, on the contrary, it is an ambivalent activity; generating both positive and negative impacts, depending on the angle from which it is analyzed. The Historic Sanctuary of Machupicchu is one of the wonders of the modern world, for this reason it is one of the most visited monuments in the world. This is why this sanctuary receives an overload of visitors every day, putting at risk not only our cultural heritage but also its fragile ecosystem. In order to achieve sustainable development, it is necessary for all the actors involved to work together to safeguard our historical and cultural legacy, achieving social, economic and cultural integration for the benefit of the local population and thus preserving this cultural and natural resource for future generations.
