The district of Machu Picchu is 83 years old, and the Regional Government of Cusco, along with GERCETUR, is happy to send their best wishes. Over the years, Machupicchu has learned how to welcome people from all over the world while still keeping its heart.
For the people of Cusco, it is a great source of pride to see their culture shared with each visitor who takes home a little piece of this amazing place.
Machupicchu is more than just a tourist spot; it’s a symbol of the rich history and traditions passed down by our ancestors. Every visitor not only sees its natural beauty but also feels the strong connection to its story and its people. The respect we give to this place has helped Machupicchu stay true to itself while growing into a model of sustainable tourism.
On this special day, the leaders promised to keep promoting tourism that honors and protects Machupicchu. They want future generations to enjoy this beautiful site just as much and understand the importance of keeping it as it is.
The Municipality of Cusco also joined the celebration, reminding everyone that Machupicchu is not just a historic site, it’s part of who we are. Celebrating its anniversary means celebrating our history, our culture, and the deep pride every person from Cusco feels in their heart.
