Peru Streaking

Satisfactory Essays

According to the Guardian, the historical monument in Peru (Machu Picchu) is under tight surveillance due to a sexual fetish of "streaking" around the monuments vicinity. The site is known to survive many catastrophes yet they believe the act of "streaking" to be something much more threatful. "It has survived five centuries of conquest, earthquakes, landslides and mass tourism. But Peruvian authorities fear that Machu Picchu is facing a new threat: streakers" (pg. 1). The Peruvian authorities felt that it was ruining their beautiful heritage because nothing out of the ordinary is allowed in the monument. Although the tourists were streaking around the monument, they had no right to take photos or videos because it's forbidden in Machu Picchu.
