According to Alt Wire OmPlace, bad news could come
to Machu Picchu. There is a proposal to build a funicular from Aguas
Calientes to Machu Picchu to make the site more accessible and
increase the average visitor rate from 2000 to 8000/day. UNESCO and
other groups are lobbying to block the construction, which would cut
a swath of rainforest down the mountain significantly deteriorating
the view. Anyone remember the Celestine Prophecy? Source: omplace.com/
