Machu Picchu belongs to Peru, responds National Institute of Culture
LivinginPeru.com
Isabel Guerra
The director of National Institute of Culture (INC), Jorge Zegarra, declared that the Abril family's claim about the property of Machu Picchu is a “case closed.”
"There have been previous trials in the past that state that Machu Picchu belongs to Peruvian State. It is really lamentable to see these families insisting on this topic. They already have 25 years doing this,” he remarked.
“We have put an end to this matter; there's nothing else to talk about. They don't have any legal background to put a demand. If they happen to have documents, they can show them, but they are trying to surprise the media with these things,” he added.
Zegarra added, however, that these families have the right to go to the Inter American Court of Human Rights (CIDH) to revise the case if they think it is convenient.
