have urged tourism operators to take necessary precautions or reschedule itineraries along the Amazon route linking Hidroelectrica Station and Machu Picchu Pueblo (Town).
The call, directed at companies providing visitor transport services along this route — the Cusco–Quillabamba–Santa Maria–Santa Teresa–Hidroelectrica corridor — was issued following a mudslide that destroyed sections of the railway and pedestrian path at kilometer 115+200, in a sector known as Mandor.
In a statement, authorities addressed tourism operators, domestic and international visitors, as well as the general public regarding measures to be adopted following a report by Ferrocarril Transandino S.A., after the emergency caused by heavy rainfall and the suspension of use of this route.
"In this context, tourism operators and visitors using the Amazon access (Hydroelectrica route) to reach Machu Picchu are urged to take the necessary precautions, reschedule their itineraries, and stay informed through official channels in order to avoid inconveniences and safeguard their safety," the document stated.
Authorities further recommended timely coordination with travel agencies, railway operators, and competent authorities, noting that evaluation and rehabilitation works on the route are underway.
The Amazon Hidroelectrica–Machu Picchu route is an alternative access to the Machu Picchu Archaeological Park.
During this season, some 300 visitors choose this option to experience the high jungle environment, reaching Machu Picchu Pueblo before continuing by bus to the World Wonder.
