A very quick heads up for any OMers in Peru and planning on
tackling the Inca Trail
in the near future, apparently flooding in the Cusco area has affected
the trains in the area making access
to the trail and Machu Picchu problematic.
The South American Explorers say that travel affected by heavy rain and
mudslides in the region 'include the trains to Machu Picchu, which are
not currently running due to damage to the rails, hikes to Machu Picchu
are also suspended or not advised'.
The organisation stresses that this is the rainy season in Peru and the
current conditions shouldn't have any effect on trips planned later in
the year.
