    [ENG] : The National Archaeological Park of Machupicchu (Cusco, Peru) is one of the most important archaeological sites in the world. The relevance of this site makes the necessity of the prevention against natural hazards. Peru is affected by earthquakes from the Pacific Trench, but there are important active faults in the Andean Range that could generate destructive earthquakes. In this study we show the preliminary result of the analysis of Earthquake Archaeological Effects (EAEs) and their differentiation from the effects generated by slope movement (creep) in the archaeological site. This type of studies may be useful in the future for the prevention of earthquake effects in the archaeological site
