A Peruvian judge has ordered the demolition of a hotel under construction near Cusco's historic Plaza de Armas, citing the destruction of Inca terraces. The 10-story building, halted since 2016, violated local building codes and destroyed five Inca agricultural terraces.

Cusco remains a major tourist destination, attracting millions annually to sites like Machu Picchu.
