What disgusting and irresponsible behaviour. I hope that these miscreants are prosecuted and that they are jailed. Some time spent in a Peruvian jail will teach them to respect iconic cultural sites, and will send a message to others who might be tempted to act equally stupidly that they will face the consequences of their actions.
