Abstract

2¯$ \bar{2} $Landscape change increasingly reaches mountain rural areas. In the Andes, human occupation is challenging the traditional categories of urban and rural. The landscape of the Archaeological Park of Ollantaytambo, in the Peruvian Andes, has been shaped by agropastoral cultures, which earned its recognition as part of the Main Inca Road/Qhapaq Ñan World Heritage site. Here, landscape change is also contingent on regulations on heritage protection and socio-economic factors resulting from increased tourism. Using a qualitative approach, this study is based on text analysis of data collected through fieldwork, including open-ended semistructured interviews, official documents and field observation. I use Augustin Berque’s concept of landscape to explore processes of urbanisation in protected areas, exemplified by terraces, a significant agricultural landscape heritage in this area.
