Peru: Machu Picchu Pueblo Mayor claims it is "not chaos"

Machu Picchu Pueblo Mayor, Edgar Miranda, said that his office is dedicated to restoring the order in the area, and that, like many other districts in Peru, Machu Picchu is prone to suffer from climatic events and natural disasters.
“We are working in organizing the town, asphalting streets, supervising constructions, and we expect to uniformize the ceilings and the colors of the houses,” said Miranda, quoted by TNews.
He said that during the last days media attention has been focused on the “inability” and “inaction” of local authorities regarding preparedness for disasters, but he said that this topic is included in Mayors' agendas.
“It is not correct saying that Machu Picchu is a chaos. We are a district that provides services, and in recent years it's been an improvement in these services' quality,” added Miranda.
He also remarked that now the works are focused on restoring the road between the town and Puente Ruinas, the train station: “this might take up to 20 days,” he said.
