The Vilcanota ravine was activated by heavy rainfall, the National Civil Defense Institute (Indeci) reported through the National Emergency Operations Center (COEN).
In that context, a crew from the Machu Picchu District Municipality, with support from tourism company Consetur, installed four temporary pedestrian bridges using locally sourced logs, enabling the transit of around 250 people, including tourists and residents, who had been stranded following the incident.
Likewise, Fetransa (Ferrocarril Trasandino) deployed heavy machinery, including three backhoe loaders, to carry out rehabilitation work on the Machu Picchu–Hidroelectrica railway section, where traffic remains suspended.
The work is expected to take between 10 and 15 days.
Meanwhile, the Rapid Disaster Response Brigade of the Communications Company No. 33, part of the Peruvian Army's 33rd Infantry Brigade, was deployed to the area.
In coordination with local authorities, it conducted a reconnaissance overflight using RPAS (Remotely Piloted Aircraft Systems), an unmanned aerial system used for intelligence, surveillance, reconnaissance, and military operational support.
Pedestrian access remains restricted in the Santa Teresa and Santa Maria sectors, except for tourists arriving via the Salkantay route, in order to safeguard public safety.
This measure is supported by personnel from the Peruvian National Police.
According to the rapid damage assessment, no impacts on life or health have been reported.
Indeci, through the National Emergency Operations Center (COEN), continues to coordinate with regional and local authorities, monitor the situation, and urge them to keep their Emergency Operations Centers active.
