The Decentralized Directorate of Culture (DDC) of Cusco reported that, as of today, the entry of tourists to the llaqta de Macchu Picchu and the Inca Road Network will be suspended indefinitely, due to the protests that plague the country.
In a joint statement with the Headquarters of the Historic Sanctuary of Machu Picchu, of the National Service of Natural Areas Protected by the State (Sernanp), all facilities are guaranteed so that national and foreign visitors can reschedule their tickets, dated January 21. from 2023, up to a month after the mobilizations ended.
Otherwise, the DDC specified that tourists may also request a full refund of the amounts paid for the access ticket to the historic sanctuary. For more information you can contact via email callcenter@culturacusco.gob.pe.
As is known, the Urubamba-Ollantaytambo-Machu Picchu railway suffered damages in different sections, due to the fact that the rail structures were lifted and moved, reported the concessionaire Ferrocarril Trasandino SA
The events occurred the day before, when the population complied with a strike in the Sacred Valley. The affectation to the track forced the suspension of the train service until further notice. Currently, there are 417 people stranded in the Machu Picchu district, of which more than 300 are foreigners.
