the incredible machu picchu , a world cultural heritage site in peru , was discovered by archaeologist hiram bingham in 1911 . the granite stone remnabts of a 15tht-century incan civilisation are situated high in the andes at an altitude of 8000 feet.
the magical setting for this sacred city gives you mixed feelings of mystery and eternity . because more than 300000 tourists come to machu picchu every year , there is concern in peru about destruction of the inca roads and pollution of the ruins . however , the government of peru is interested in the financial benefits that tourism provides to a weak economy , so the government and the preservationists have different priorities .
moreover , at one time , a company wanted to build cable cars to replace the buses that now carry tourists up a narrow , twisting road to the top of the mountain where machu picchu is located fortunately , this plan , which would have destroyed the fragile natural habitat , was rejected
