After being closed for more than two months because heavy rains and landslides washed out railway access, the famous Inca site of Machu Picchu and its rail link to Cuzco reopened April 1. The opening could not have come too soon for the tourism industry, which relies heavily on Machu Picchu as a draw. The Cuzco chamber of commerce estimates that more than half of the city’s inhabitants rely on tourism for their livelihoods.
