New7Wonders, the Switzerlandβbased organization that in 2007 created the contest to determine the New Seven Wonders of the World, has reminded Peru that Machu Picchu faces a concrete threat: losing the international recognition that turned the Inca citadel into a magnet for millions of travelers and one of those places one must see at least once in their lives.
