An ecclesiastic residing near Machu Picchu, for example (6)

I believe the answer is:

andean

'residing near machu picchu for example' is the definition.
(someone from the Andes mountains)

'an ecclesiastic' is the wordplay.
'ecclesiastic' becomes 'dean'.
'an'+'dean'='ANDEAN'

(Other definitions for andean that I've seen before include "Relating to South American mountains" , "Peak District" , "coming from a range" , "description of range?" , "within range?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
