A forest near the Sacsayhuamán archaeological park in Cusco is facing significant threats from illegal logging and large-scale events. Residents report widespread tree felling, accumulation of waste, and compromised safety conditions in the area. They also express concerns about archaeological structures within the forest being put at risk. The situation raises questions about the response from Peru’s Ministry of Culture and Ministry of the Environment. The forest, previously a key part of the Cusco landscape, is rapidly disappearing due to this combined pressure. Authorities have yet to publicly address the growing concerns regarding its preservation and the impact of these events. This case highlights the vulnerability of archaeological sites to environmental damage and unregulated tourism.
