Rocks on train tracks strand 900 Machu Picchu tourists amid protest

Around 900 tourists found themselves stranded near Machu Picchu due to a protest linked to a bus contract dispute, as reported by Peru's tourism minister. While about 1,400 visitors were evacuated, the suspension of train services by PeruRail left many unable to reach their destinations. This situation highlights the ongoing tensions in Peru's transport sector and raises concerns about the impact on tourism, a vital part of the country's economy.
