Strike at Machu Picchu: temporary closure of the site planned. More than 1,200 tourists were evacuated over the weekend from the most visited Inca site in the world.
Opponents launched an “unlimited” strike movement on Thursday to denounce a decision by the Ministry of Culture to use a private intermediary to manage the sale of tickets online. On Monday evening, the protest leaders finally announced that they would observe a 24-hour truce on Tuesday in order to establish a dialogue to find a solution.
