The last couple years, the once great Incan citadel has been beset by foreign tourists who, instead of just taking a few selfies in front of the swirling mountain mists, insist on stripping off their clothes and sprinting across the lush green terraces and immaculately carved courtyards of the 500 year old city.

Friends, there is a specter haunting the mountains of Peru. Right now Machu Picchu, one of the most beautiful and treasured places on earth, is on the verge of being ruined forever by a catastrophe of man’s own creation.

And it’s not just a few people. Being naked at Machu Picchu has become an international phenomenon. Almost every week, a new batch of tourists is getting picked up by security , scolded, and then sent on their way.

A Facebook group, called Naked At Monuments, even ranks Machu Picchu as the third best place on earth to be naked at, behind only the Great Pyramids and the Hagia Sofia in Istanbul, neither of which a person can easily get naked at because doing so will likely send you to prison.

Soon, though, streaking at Machu Picchu will get you severely punished too. The problem has become such an embarrassment that the Direction of Regional Culture for Cuzco has announced a bunch of new regulations designed specifically to crackdown on streakers.

According to the new rules, foreign tourists will no longer be allowed to tour the site without hiring an official Peruvian guide (who will be presumably tasked with ensuring you keep your clothes on), nor will they be allowed to leave one of three narrow, closely monitored paths through the site. There will also be time limits on how long tehy can stay at certain locations so as to never give them enough time to take off their clothes. No more gallivanting. No more free roaming. No more exploring. No more getting naked and showing your genitals to dozens of surprised tourists.

Is this anti-fun fascism? Do visitors have the right to a less naked Machu Picchu? Have you ever photographed yourself in the buff at one of the world’s most treasured and/or sacred places? Let us know! We would sincerely like to hear your stories! Probably not see your pictures, though.
