Machu Picchu in Peru is one of the 7 New Wonders of the World, but it has been closed to tourists since March due to the Corona virus epidemic.
But the local government opened Machu Picchu to a Japanese tourist who had been stranded in the Latin American country for more than seven months due to the corona virus epidemic.
Jesse Katayama, 26, hails from the Nara region of Japan and came to Peru in March to visit the center of civilization, but was stopped short by the Corona outbreak when he arrived.
Jesse Katayama's intention was to stay in Peru for just a few minutes, during which time he wanted to take a walk on the famous Machu Picchu route.
But with the Peruvian government imposing the toughest lockdown, they were stranded in the town of Agios Clients, near Machu Picchu.
Peruvian Culture Minister Alejandro Naira said Japanese tourists were also allowed to visit Machu Picchu, one of the seven museums in the world, on a special request.
"They came to Peru with the dream of entering this historic place, now they can go back home,".
The Japanese national was taken away by the chief of staff managing the site, making him the first tourist to enter the 550-year-old site since March.
In a video recorded there, Jesse Takayama said the tour was truly amazing.
Papyrus's government plans to open Machu Picchu to tourists next month, but no date has been set.
However, whenever it opens, only 30% of tourists will be allowed to go there before the epidemic, instead of 675 people a day.
