Peru considers it necessary to prioritize its conservation in the face of the imminent wear and tear caused by the high number of tourist visits. Faced with this travel scenario, in 2014 the Ministry of Culture of Peru (MINCUL) and the Decentralized Directorate of Cusco (DDC – Cusco) convened the “Architectural Ideas Competition for interventions in the National Archaeological Park of Machupicchu”,

Within this new management model of Machupicchu, there are three key architectural pieces for the development of its main objectives:
a center for visitors, travelers, hikers, a bridge and a mall.
