World Heritage Machu Picchu Special Opening for One Japanese Tourist October 14, 8:03
Machu Picchu, a World Heritage Site in Peru, South America, which continues to be closed due to the effects of the new coronavirus, has been opened to the public for one Japanese tourist.
The Peruvian government has specially approved Machu Picchu tourism by Mr. Jieishi Katayama, a Japanese traveler from Nara prefecture.
Mr. Katayama arrived at the village at the foot of Machu Picchu in the middle of March this year, but shortly after that, the Peruvian government announced a national emergency decree accompanying the spread of the new coronavirus infection, and Machu Picchu was also closed, so tourism I can't do it anymore.
After that, Mr. Katayama did not return to Japan and continued to stay in the village at the foot of the mountain for more than 200 days.
Then, earlier this month, a local newspaper introduced Mr. Katayama, who was about to return to Japan, and a flood of messages of support flooded the Peruvian government with special admission on the 10th.
Mr. Katayama, who monopolized the sight of the World Heritage Site, said, "It was a really wonderful tour. I thank the government officials for making it happen."
Machu Picchu, which is a ruin of the fortified city of the Inca Empire and is registered as a World Heritage Site, is a popular tourist destination, and the Peruvian government's entanglement has become a big topic as the closure continues due to the influence of the new coronavirus. ..
