Peruvian Deputy Minister of Tourism, Pablo López de Romaña, announced that the authorities are evaluating the possibility of starting night tours to Machu Picchu, which would come into effect sometime between next December and April 2010.
According to López de Romaña, the aim is to increase the visiting hours beyond 4:00 p.m.
"We are planning a new presentation of Machu Picchu, giving it a proper illumination. Tourists and visitors want to have a picture of the site. This has been a good year, and we think 2010 will be a better one", said López de Romaña.
According to a 2004 study made by INC-Cusco, the daily amount of tourists to Machu Picchu should not be more than 2,500 persons; however, a recent research indicated that there will be between 4,000 and 5,000 daily visitors in the following years.
