Ministerio de Cultura

The Ministerio de Cultura del Perú is a government body responsible for the preservation, promotion, and dissemination of the country's cultural heritage. Recently, it was in the news for rejecting a ranking published by Travel And Tour World that deemed Machu Picchu, a UNESCO World Heritage site, as no longer worth visiting. The ministry defended the site's significance and appealed to the public to refrain from sharing unsupported claims that could harm Peru's cultural image.
