400 Visitors stranded on Mount Huayna Picchu to make their way back to civilization
More than 400 tourists were stranded at the historic site on Saturday after anti-government protesters damaged nearby railways.
They were eventually evacuated via train to Cusco, according to a statement from the Tourism Ministry.
Tourists wait outside the Machu Picchu train station after the railway service was suspended due to damages allegedly caused by
protesters in Machu Picchu, Peru, on January 21, 2023
The demonstrations began last month after former President Pedro Castillo was impeached and arrested for trying to dissolve
Congress. His former vice president, Dina Boluarte, was sworn into office on December 7.
Protesters are calling for new elections and Boluarte’s resignation. More than 55 people have died-and hundreds more have been
arrested-in violent clashes between police and protesters.
