    El presente estudio aborda el inicio del proceso de construcción moderna del ícono por excelencia de memoria cultural, territorial y nacional que es emblemático de la globalidad para el Perú: Machu Picchu. Para ello, propone e registro de la genealogía simbólico-cultural que ha dado origen al ícono andino- amazónico, a inicios del siglo XX, a partir de una relectura crítica que interrelacione relatos de viajes, informes de expediciones científicas, catálogos naturalistas y visuales, así como narrativas periodísticas y textualidades ligadas a la industria naciente del turismo. A partir del análisis del surgimiento delrelato del “descubrimiento” de una “ciudad perdida”, el artículo analiza los datos sobre los cuales se basa este relato y los objetivos con los cuales fue articulado desde 1910 con la serie de expediciones científicas y arqueológicas a la región del Cusco.

    This article addresses the beginning of the modern construction processof th e icon par excellence of cultural, territorial and national memory that  is emblematic of globality for Peru: Machu Picchu. To this end, it proposes the record of the symbolic-cultural genealogy that has given rise to the  Andean-Amazonian icon in the early twentieth century, from a critical interpretation that interrelates travel chronicles, reports of scientific expeditions, naturalistic and visual catalogs, as well as journalistic narratives and textualities linked to the growing tourism industry. From the analysis of the emergence of the story of the “discovery” of a “lost city”, the article analyzes the data on which this story is based and the objectives with which it was articulated since 1910 with the series of scientific and archaeological expeditions to the region of Cuzco.
