Unesco World Heritage In Peru

As part of a panel that included former Peruvian Minister of Tourism and Commerce Rogers Valencia, Luis spoke about the critical issues of Machu Picchu’s carrying capacity, the control and circulation of visitors, and the construction of a new large-scale visitors’ center. Luis also spoke last week on the same podcast about the current conservation situation of Kuélap, a pre-Inca fortress located in the Amazon Region, Peru. Regarding the Nasca Lines site, Luis and colleagues presented a poster at the “2024’s Geo-Science from Latin America Conference” held at Eichstätt, Germany. This poster synthesizes recent geoscientific studies on the Nasca and Palpa Lines, in southern Peru. The study seeks to assess progressive changes in the moisture, heat, and compaction levels of the desert soil produced because of climatic change. This poster presented, for the first time, flooding hazard maps of the Nasca basin and the potential impact of future ENSO events on the Nasca geoglyphs.
