Machupicchu is a 15th century Inca citadel located in the Eastern Cordillera of southern Peru. It rises to 2,430 m above sea level, in the middle of a tropical mountain forest, in an environment of extraordinary beauty. It was probably the most amazing urban creation of the Inca Empire at its height; its gigantic walls, terraces and ramps seem to have been cut naturally into the continuous rocky escarpments. The natural environment, on the eastern slopes of the Andes, encompasses the upper Amazon basin with its rich diversity of flora and fauna.
It is one of the most outstanding places and a benchmark for innovation in Latin American history. Today, the Machupicchu District Municipality is a leading institution and model in municipal public management, aimed at providing comprehensive services to the Machupicchu community, improving their quality of life and satisfying their basic needs.
The Institutional Vision is understood as a district model with cultural identity, acceptable quality of life, supported by a solid urban and rural economy, with equivalent basic and social services, in a healthy, sustainable and sustainable environment.
Machupicchu, consolidated as the Anteroom of the Inca city, Sanctuary of Machupicchu, with its physical spaces and services organized, orderly and ornamented, without oversizing in its urban growth, protected against risks of natural disasters; a safe, attractive and comfortable place for tourism and for the inhabitants, who actively participate in the government of the town in a concerted, harmonious, efficient, transparent, plural and democratic manner.
As stated by the National Government of Peru, the Management of local governments is a model of efficiency and transparency, through permanent participatory processes of all organized civil society, under the premise that the execution of development and participation plans by results is a fundamental task of all citizens. For this reason, this plan must be the concerted effort of all the inhabitants of the district, with the capacity to supervise and execute the process of democratic governance, under the principles of government of the people for the people.
