In this case the tourist resource that everyone is coming to visit archaeological and natural: the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu (Peru Tours). In 2003, the Peruvian government issued the law 281004 in which it is stated that 10% of the revenue collected by the entrance to the citadel is destined to Machu Picchu village giving it a relevant resources to address the needs inherent in the growth of the municipality Aguas Calientes (Machu Picchu village).

The opening hours of the citadel of Machu Picchu is from 6:00 am to 17:00 pm and the price is around 31 euros for foreign adults to which must be added another 10 euros for paying the bus ticket that connects the village to the citadel of Machu Picchu although this route can also be done on foot (Tours Peru).

It is important to note that the basin of the Vilcanota River (also called Urubamba River), which crosses the Machu Picchu – SHM, receives waste and sewage of the greater human conglomerate in the region.
