This dissertation examines the social and spatial practices by which stakeholders construct and contest the space of nature and culture in the Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary, Peru. I investigate how the cultural meaning of protected area space is produced and what the discursive and material consequences of this process are. It is increasingly recognized that protected areas involve the cultural and political construction of nature. However, spatial dimensions and temporal dynamics of the nature culture interface in parks are not well understood. The Machu Picchu Historic Sanctuary is designed to celebrate both cultural and ecological heritage, but also epitomizes protected area problems of excessive tourism, competing stakeholders, altered ecosystems, and impoverished residents. This dissertation begins by analyzing archaeological discoveries in Machu Picchu to reveal how discovery involves strategic manipulation of identity, science, and nature. It then examines how tourism development and archaeological restoration projects resituated nature culture relations in Machu Picchu. Both involve institutionalization of the site and tensions between modernity and heritage. The dissertation then looks at how protected area space was made in the Historic Sanctuary, including how protected area boundaries are created. Attempts to order behavior in the Sanctuary involve bureaucratic rituals but policies such as how cows become historically and ecologically exotic animals are often implemented through informal negotiation. This dissertation also examines struggles for locality, identity, and livelihood in rural villages in Machu Picchu across shifting political economic and cultural contexts. A unique study of fuelwood practices provides new insights into fuelwood in the Andes. This dissertation examines the discourse of natural and unnatural ecosystems embedded in Andean ecology and presents an alternative means of analyzing anthropogenic and biophysical influences on the structure and composition of Andean forests and pastures.
