Comment from Paige
Tourism is already a priority for Peru’s brand-new President Ollanta Humala, sworn in on July 28. The nation’s third-largest industry (after fishing and mining), tourism is also Peru’s fastest growing. Classic destinations such as Cuzco, Machu Picchu, and the Nazca Lines are enjoying record crowds, to the point that the government has been limiting visitors to the most popular spots.
