Description

Machu Picchu is a renowned archaeological site of the pre-Columbian Inca Empire, built in the 15th century in Peru. It is also one of the New Seven Wonders of the World and was inscribed as a mixed cultural and natural heritage site in the UNESCO World Heritage List in 1983. Due to its unique geographical location, mysterious religious ceremonies, and advanced architectural techniques, it is one of the most significant archaeological centers in South America. SDG 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities: As a world-famous tourist destination, Machu Picchu faces challenges of tourist pressure and environmental conservation. Leveraging technologies such as virtual tours and 3D models enables individuals to delve deeper into aspects like the structure, history, and cultural significance of historical relics, thereby enhancing historical understanding. Additionally, documenting detailed information and conditions of historical sites aids in their protection and conservation efforts. This approach helps reduce physical visitations to the sites, thereby minimizing human-induced damage and environmental pressures, thus fostering the sustainable development of historical relics.
