Descripción
Sumario:This text examines the transformation of Machu Picchu from an obscure archaeological site into a global tourist destination and national symbol of Peru. The author illustrates how, from the very start, tourism played a central role in the modern rise of Machu Picchu. The leaders of Cusco, where Machu Picchu is located, employed tourism to argue for the importance of their region at a time when Peru's national leaders believed that the Andean interior offered little cultural and economic opportunities.
