In addition, the project to improve the internal roads with the Geoblocks system, access control and signage inside the Inca citadel.
This was explained in an interview with the Peruvian newspaper Gestión by Juan Carlos Mathews Salazar, Minister of Foreign Trade and Tourism, the entity in charge of managing access to the area.
It is worth remembering that getting to Machu Picchu is not an easy task for tourists, as there are only two railway companies that operate to the closest town to the monument, Aguas Calientes. Once in the town, getting up to the citadel is easier.
