VOICED : Peru promete respetar Machu Pichu con nuevo aeropuerto de Cusco

The Peruvian government has pledged not to harm Machu Picchu or other Incan sites with the construction of a new airport in Cusco. The project, set to begin in June, will not affect any cultural heritage sites. Authorities will present a UNESCO-required heritage impact study. The Chinchero project is crucial for the country's needs, especially for Cusco. The new airport, located 58 km from Machu Picchu, will handle 6 million passengers annually, a 60% increase. The current airport is over capacity. The project faces criticism for potential impacts on local communities and Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1983.
