Tourist entry to Machu Picchu Citadel and the Inca Trail Network has been suspended until further notice due to ongoing unrest in Peru, officials in the country said Saturday. On Saturday, Peru’s National Police stormed the National University of San Marcos to remove protesters, the force said on Twitter. The suspended train service left 417 people — including 300 foreign nationals — stranded in the Machu Picchu district. “People are still trapped in Machu Picchu,” Helguero said. PeruRail said Thursday it was suspending its services to and from Machu Picchu, among other destinations, because tracks were blocked and damaged in various places.
