ANDINA. The protection of the historic sanctuary of Machu Picchu is guaranteed during the two ceremonies scheduled on the occasion of the 100th anniversary celebration of its scientific discovery, the High Level Commission responsible for the organization of the event said.
The National Service of Protected Natural Areas by the State (Sernanp) made an assessment of the areas to be used for the two ceremonies (one during the day and the other at the night), as well as the technical conditions and the entire logistics involved for the celebrations scheduled for July 7.
Media equipments of both TV Peru and of Iguana Films were supervised in order to verify that they would not affect the sanctuary.
The first evaluation has been positive as it was verified that the High Level Commission has followed the recommendations made by Sernanp and Cusco’s Regional Directorate of Culture.
For instance, using two different locations for each event in agricultural areas, which will guarantee that celebrations will take place far away from the sanctuary’s sensitive areas and, thus, avoiding doing any damage to the monument.
