Over-Tourism: An irreparable damage to Machu Picchu.
Machu Picchu was built around 1450 and the magnificence of its location nestled among the slopes of the Andes-Jungle of Peru, made it listed among the 7 wonders of the world (Brodersen, 2016). After its rediscovered in 1911, for many years it preserved the natural and authentic infrastructures: no ladders, no signs, no repaired roofs and completely pathless. It remained authentic and magnificent until UNESCO declared Machu Picchu a World Heritage Site in 1983, capturing the attention of international and local stakeholders (UNESCO, 2012).
