Machu Picchu centennial celebrations to be broadcast around the world

Lima, Apr. 27 (ANDINA). Celebrations for the Year of Machu Picchu’s Centennial to the World will be broadcast around the world, said Ricardo Vega, president of the High Level Commission responsible for the organization of the event.
"The event will be broadcast worldwide. The signal will be available to all channels of Peru and the world,” Vega stated.

In addition, the main ceremony and other activities, which will be part of the 100th anniversary celebration of the scientific discovery of Machu Picchu, may be viewed online via satellite.

"We want an Australian, a Dutchman, an African and a Norwegian to be able to download the program and watch it. Our main interest is that Machu Picchu becomes more known, more visited, as it is one of the wonders of the world that has received less visitors in its history,” he told Canal N.

Vega said that for the main ceremony, scheduled for July 7, all the recommendations made by the Ministry of Culture are being followed in order to preserve the Inca citadel.
