Peru's Ministry ofCulture has denounced the spectacle of nude visitors at Machu Picchu as"disrespectful" and "unfortunate events that threaten cultural heritage."
"There are places in the world that people can get naked, but not all places are (appropriate) for getting undressed," Alfredo Mormontoy Atayupanqui, director of archaeological resources for Peru's Ministry of Culture, tells CNN.
According to Mormontoy, park rules printed on the back of admission tickets warn visitors against being nude in public."Tourists should comply with local rules and regulations when they are traveling, otherwise there will be thousands of problems," he says.
