Incident 16363 Report
Purportedly AI-Generated Travel Information Reportedly Misled Tourists into Seeking Nonexistent 'Sacred Canyon of Humantay' in Peru

2025-09-29

Two tourists in Peru reportedly relied on AI-generated travel information describing a nonexistent destination called the "Sacred Canyon of Humantay." One tourist had paid nearly $160 to reach a rural road near Mollepata without a guide or actual destination. Trek operator Miguel Ángel Góngora Meza intervened after seeing the purportedly AI-generated itinerary and warned that such misinformation could expose travelers to serious risks in high-altitude Andean terrain.
