Selling Sacred Cities: Tourism, Region, and Nation in Cusco, Peru A Dissertation Presented by Mark Charles Rice to The Graduate School in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy in History Stony Brook University May 2014 Copyright by Mark Rice 2014 Stony Brook University The Graduate School Mark Charles Rice We, the dissertation committee for the above candidate for the Doctor of Philosophy degree, hereby recommend acceptance of this dissertation. Paul Gootenberg – Dissertation Advisor SUNY Distinguished Professor, History, Stony Brook University Eric Zolov – Chairperson of Defense Associate Professor, History, Stony Brook University Brooke Larson Professor, History, Stony Brook University Deborah Poole Professor, Anthropology, Johns Hopkins University This dissertation is accepted by the Graduate School Charles Taber Dean of the Graduate School ii Abstract of the Dissertation Selling Sacred Cities: Tourism, Region, and Nation in Cusco, Peru by Mark Charles Rice Doctor of Philosophy in History Stony Brook University 2014 It is hard to imagine a more iconic representation of Peru than the Inca archeological complex of Machu Picchu located in the Cusco region. However, when US explorer, Hiram Bingham, announced that he had discovered the “lost city” in 1911, few would have predicted Machu Picchu’s rise to fame during the twentieth century. My dissertation traces the unlikely transformation of Machu Picchu into its present-day role as a modern tourism destination and a representation of Peruvian national identity. Beginning in the 1920s, cusqueño elites embraced the discourse of tourism to re-imagine their region’s indigenous heritage not as a sign of backwardness, but as a modern attraction for cultured travelers. Aligning with transnational diplomatic and cultural institutions in the 1930s and 1940s to promote tourism, locals elevated Machu Picchu and cusqueño folklore as symbols of Peru to the world. After the Second World War, locals continued to lobby the state to invest in tourism using recovery efforts following a 1950 earthquake to promote tourism. Finally, in the 1960s and 1970s the Peruvian state, in coordination with UNESCO, spent heavily on iii developing tourism. Yet, state-led tourism failed to bring economic prosperity to Cusco. Rather than attract elite travelers it encouraged the arrival of hippies and backpackers to the chagrin of locals. Tourism in Cusco nearly collapsed in the 1980s under the pressures of debt crises and political violence. Out of this chaos emerged grassroots and adventure tourism that, by the 1990s, became a widely successful economic model. Recently, however, outside investors and corporations have displaced local participation in the tourism economy. Now, control over the profits and politics of tourism has emerged as a central source of conflict in Cusco. Examining the development of tourism in Cusco, my dissertation reveals how transnational forces can alter the relationship between region and nation in Latin America. Thanks to transnational actors involved in promoting tourism in Cusco, Machu Picchu now serves as a global representation of Peru. However, if tourism has the power to elevate a region’s culture and identity, cusqueños also discovered its destructive ability to erode local political and economic independence. iv Dedicated to my parents, Anna Marie Rice and Charles Rice v Table of Contents Introduction …………………………………………………………………….….…………...1 Chapter 1 Making the Modern Destination: The Roots of Cusco Tourism, 1900-1935……19 Chapter 2 Good Neighbors Make Good Tourists: The Rise of Cusco and Machu Picchu Tourism, 1930-1948……………………………………………………………...53 Chapter 3 Disaster Destinations: Restoration, Rebuilding, and Recovery of Tourism after the Cusco Earthquake, 1948-1960…………………………………………………...94 Chapter 4 Generals, Hotels, and Hippies: Development Tourism and Military Government, 1960-1975………………………………………………………………………138 Chapter 5 Between Maoists and Millionaires: Changes and Challenges Leading to the Modern Tourism Boom, 1975-1995…………………………………………....185 Conclusion “The Synthesis of All Things Peruvian”: Revisiting the History of Tourism in Cusco …………………………………………………………………………..221 Bibliography ……………………………………………….…………………………………236 vi List of Figures Figure 1.1.

    NEGOTIATING EVANGELICALISM AND NEW AGE TOURISM THROUGH QUECHUA ONTOLOGIES IN CUZCO, PERU by Guillermo Salas Carreño A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Anthropology) in The University of Michigan 2012 Doctoral Committee: Professor Bruce Mannheim, Chair Professor Judith T. Irvine Professor Paul C. Johnson Professor Webb Keane Professor Marisol de la Cadena, University of California Davis © Guillermo Salas Carreño All rights reserved 2012 To Stéphanie ii ACKNOWLEDGMENTS This dissertation was able to arrive to its final shape thanks to the support of many throughout its development. First of all I would like to thank the people of the community of Hapu (Paucartambo, Cuzco) who allowed me to stay at their community, participate in their daily life and in their festivities. Many thanks also to those who showed notable patience as well as engagement with a visitor who asked strange and absurd questions in a far from perfect Quechua. Because of the University of Michigan’s Institutional Review Board’s regulations I find myself unable to fully disclose their names. Given their public position of authority that allows me to mention them directly, I deeply thank the directive board of the community through its then president Francisco Apasa and the vice president José Machacca. Beyond the authorities, I particularly want to thank my compadres don Luis and doña Martina, Fabian and Viviana, José and María, Tomas and Florencia, and Francisco and Epifania for the many hours spent in their homes and their fields, sharing their food and daily tasks, and for their kindness in guiding me in Hapu, allowing me to participate in their daily life and answering my many questions.

In particular, they resist viewers’ designation of “syncretic” or “hybrid” to produce knowledge about art that has been fashioned by indigenous hands. Epistemological claims of “syncretism” and “hybridity” may be intended to transcend the borders between “us” and “them,” between West and non-West, or between eras in Latin America that depend on the presence or absence of Spanish colonists, but such iterations can reinvest viewers in a history of misrecognition. Nevertheless, such terms are not sedimented, for indigenous artists continue to reclaim visuality as they steadfastly hold a mirror toward artistic and epistemic paradigms that attempt to translate, erase, or manage localized colonial differences.

Peru formally requested restitution in 1918 and 1920, but to no avail. In 2001, negotiations between Peru and Yale University resumed. However, the resulting accord discontented the Peruvian Government. As a result, Peru filed suit in the United States against Yale University seeking the return of the collection and damages. In November 2010, the parties signed an agreement on the return of the Machu Picchu collection to Peru. As part of that accord, Yale University and the Universidad Nacional de San Antonio Abad del Cusco (UNSAAC) established the UNSAAC- Yale University International Centre for the Study of Machu Picchu and Inca Culture.
