The number of visitors to Machu Picchu reached a new historic high last year, with nearly 1.2 million people exploring the ancient Inca citadel.<\/p>\n

The record-breaking figure of 1,177,308 visitors is contained in the annual totals published by the Ministry of Foreign Commerce and Tourism (MINCETUR).<\/p>\n

Built in the 15th century by the 9th Sapa Inca Pachacutec, Machu Picchu is considered by most who come to Peru a must-experience. Their Cusco vacation would not be complete without it.\u00a0 Changes are afoot to ensure the preservation of the monument<\/a>, which has seen an exponential increase in tourist traffic over the past 20 years.<\/p>\n
