(…) In 2014, officials at Machu Picchu in Peru said they were increasing surveillance after visitors were caught taking nude photographs or running through the ancient site naked.

Amichay Rab, a 32-year-old accountant from Tel Aviv, Israel, was one of those tourists who posed in the buff. Rab documented his nude escapades while on a nine-month trip through Central and South America on his blog. Many of the photos were taken early in the morning before there were crowds, he said, and local residents often snapped the photos for him.

“I was anxious sometimes but was never afraid [of] getting in trouble as I was very discreet,” he said. “I was waiting for the right moment in order to avoid hurting someone’s feelings.”

この遺跡には旅人に服を脱がさせてしまう何か魔力のようなものがあるのだろうか。
