MACHUPICCHU Observaciones realizadas por Unesco son superadas

El jefe del parque arqueológico de Machupicchu, Fernando Astete, afirmó que las observaciones que formuló la Unesco sobre Machupicchu se encuentran siendo superadas y resulta improbable que pueda ser incluida en la lista de patrimonio en riesgo.
Las observaciones que les hicieron llegar hace dos años estaban relacionadas con el acceso oeste a la maravilla mundial, así como el tema de la gestión del sitio. Astete aseguró que "esos aspectos los estamos superando, estamos trabajando en eso, así como en la preservación de la ciudadela y de la red de caminos incas, lo que demostraremos cuando llegue la misión de la Unesco".
