Thousands are suffering from recent heavy rains that have caused mudslides and blocked highways in the Ancash, Cuzco, Huanuco and Pasco regions.
Governor Oscar Rodriguez Monterroso of La Convencion and the Cuzco region said: “There are businessmen and people who are making trips and domestic tourists who are visiting the archaeological sanctuary of Machu Picchu through this zone and who, upon becoming stranded, have had to walk for several hours."
Popular tourist site Machu Picchu last year ( 2010 picture ) was closed for two months so that the train line leading to it could be repaired.
