Google Street View will allow the world’s internet users to explore the majesty of the ancient Inca city of Machu Picchu (Cusco region).
Fernado Astete said thanks to the horizontal, vertical and 360° degree views, provided by technology, the world will be able to see the details of this archaeological wonder.
"People will be able to discover Machu Picchu, its architecture, construction, design and its interior, seeing the details of every space of this citadel," declared Astete to Andina agency news.
However, it is necessary to show other Peruvian archaeological wonders, he indicated.
"There are so many places to discover, such as the Pyramids of Tucume, of the Sun and others located in the North," he expressed.
The Culture Ministry indicated a group of Google employees are already working in Peru, in order to register 91 real properties declared as Nation's Cultural Heritage.
Also included are the Sacred City of Caral, located in Lima, and Chan Chan citadel in La Libertad region.
The Ministry of Culture has provided recommendations for the execution of this project, which will allow spreading archaeological heritage through virtual tours on Google Street View.
