residents v. developers in peru

Thousands of people have brought Peru's tourist capital, Cuzco, to a near standstill in a demonstration against development near Inca monuments.

A proposed law would make it easier for private investors to build near some of Peru's most famous ancient sites.

In the 24-hour protest, main roads were blocked, tours were cancelled and the rail service between Cuzco and Machu Picchu was suspended.
