Hundreds rescued at Machu Picchu

Category: Attractions, Going Out, Peru, South America — Paul Johnson @ 9:41 am

Tourists at one of the world’s most famous landmarks, Machu Picchu, have had to be airlifted from the site by helicopter. Arouind 1,400 are said to have been rescued after floods destroyed road and rail links, but 800 are thought to be still stranded. The area has experienced its highest rainfall in 15 years and Machu Picchu will be closed for several weeks.

So sorry to hear about his. Machu Picchu is one of my favorite places and I can imagine how a flood can cut the surface access to this magnificent place.
