PERU HOLIDAY AND TRAVEL NEWS

As of this week, the full rail link from Cusco to Machu Picchu has been restored, allowing passengers to travel directly between the ancient Inca capital and the famous lost city for the first time since mudslides closed the rail link in January.

Although this restoration is slightly behind the planned schedule, this is due to engineers constructing an entirely new route further from the banks of the Urubamba river, which should prevent any future problems of this nature and make sure that Machu Picchu remains open for visitors even in the most difficult weather conditions.
