Peru is home to Machu Picchu - the ancient Inca city in the Andes mountains.

It's one of the seven wonders of the world, and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The popular tourist destination attracts millions of visitors, making it very lucrative for the government, local and international businesses.

But Machu Picchu is in trouble.

Social conflicts, fights over who benefits from the money being made through ticket sales and transport are just some of the problems its facing.

Jane Chambers visits Peru to find out what's going on and if there are other local sites for tourist to visit instead.

Produced and presented by Jane Chambers Editor: Helen Thomas
