In 2007, Machu Picchu was named a 'New Wonder of the World'. With the ancient Inca city featured on bucket lists the world over, visitors queuing up for the perfect photo of its other worldly beauty, it's not surprising that cracks are starting to show. Since 2011, the number of average daily number of visitors has far exceeded the daily limit of 2,500 agreed to by Peru and UNESCO. Last year 1.1million people reached its dizzying peak. Scroll down for video . Entry to the site will be moved to a visitor and orientation centre and there will be three routes through the site . And now a new master plan, to be implemented between 2015 and 2019, has been revealed, calling for the re-conceptualisation' of Machu Picchu. According to the Andean Air Mail and Peruvian Times, the idea is to change the 'axis of the visitor experience' making the mountain into a part of the tourist experience as well as the Inca city itself, with the hopes that this can control crowd flow - the project is set to cost around £28.5million. Entry to the site will be moved to a visitor and orientation centre in the jungle below, and there will be three different routes through the site. A staff of certified guides and guards will be employed, and security cameras installed. Certified guides and guards will be employed, and security cameras installed as part of the grand plan . Also, time limits will be imposed to keep traffic flowing. An online document outlining the plan states: 'Groups of 100 visitors will leave approximately every 10 minutes (from the visitor’s centre) toward any of the possible options, easing up the congestion on the heritage space with the aid of interpretive signs and a more efficient action by the guides.' So if groups of 100 are dispatched every ten minutes, the site would receive around 6,000 visitors per day, which works out as over two million a year. Plans have also been agreed for an exit ramp, as well as onsite toilets. Since 2011, the number of average daily number of visitors has far exceeded the daily limit of 2,500 agreed to by Peru and UNESCO . In 2008, UNESCO, the Ministry of Culture and the Peruvian Government agreed that no more than 2,500 people should visit the site per day. Due to a lack of emergency management, limited road access from Santa Maria and Santa Teresa and poorly managed waste facilities, increasing numbers of tourists would be potentially very dangerous. The new master plan aims to tackle all of those issues, but it could be argued that the sacred Inca city might never be the same again. Journey Latin America's Peru expert, Isabelle Mazille, told Mail Online Travel: 'Machu Picchu is not a museum, but an experience – and people go time and time again to visit certain areas. 'So with this idea of having a specific route from which you cannot deviate, being able to go with a guide only and in short slots will definitely affect the experience; it won’t be the same. 'But on the other hand – and this is the main issue – based on the increasing number of visitors, the authorities need to do something to accommodate (and control) them as otherwise the site will crumble. 'On the positive side, a visitor and orientation centre is a good idea which will help organise and disperse the crowds'.
