Current Affairs Czech researchers set to return to Machu Picchu
Czech researchers have begun preparing a return expedition to the ancient site of Machu Picchu, where they have monitored geological conditions over several years now. In 2002, a Japanese team warned that the famous Incan ruins, situated at 2,400 metres, could be destroyed as the result of landslide shifts. But Czech specialists (among different scientists who travelled to the area) conducted their own tests and came away with different results. A little earlier Jan Velinger spoke to one of the members of the Czech team, Charles University’s Vít Vilímek, who will be heading back Machu Picchu this summer.
