Ancient Incan Walls Destroyed In Order To Build J.W. Marriot Hotel!

I just got back from my wonderful trip in Cusco a few days ago and was doing some internet reading when I read this interesting article from the Peruanista Blog about the destruction of ancient Incan walls by Lima-based company Inversiones La Rioja SA.   

I remember seeing the construction site on a hike while in Cusco and wondering what was being built there, apparently the plan is to build a 7-story high hotel that will also consist of 3 underground levels.  Anyways, the article written by Peruanista extensively covers the depth of the damage being conducted in Peru's most popular and highly visited city.  


If you would like to read his article here is the link, he reveals some interesting information.  I recommend giving it a read.
