Controversial Sheraton under Construction on Saphy (La Republica)
The drums roll. The countdown continues while many hang on the edge of anguish.
Tomorrow, the 29th of December, is the deadline to stop the construction of a ten story Four Points by Sheraton hotel on Saphi street—the Comisión de Juristas claims it violates statutes and the aesthetics that govern the Inca and Colonial center of Cusco—or let its irregularities become accepted under the law and the building continue.
A demonstration is planned for today and media have spread the word throughout Peru, bringing pressure on Cusco’s mayor, Carlos Moscoso, to decide between the pressure of multimillion dollar investment and international tourism agencies or the rules and procedures for maintaining the basis of colonial and Inca Cusco that is one of the country’s main tourist draws and is regulated by local, national, and international rules.

Very impressive place.
The Inca structures are beyond priceless. What a marvel.

This Sheraton plan should consider the wishes of the people who live there, for crying out loud. They should build it at a respectful distance from this meaningful, historical area.
Cusco is a poor city, in a very poor country, except for the very racist oligarchy.
It appears you have a valid point.
