Machu picchu trail will be opened on April 1st.
The minister of tourism has announced that the access for national and international tourists to Machupicchu will be re-opened the 1st. of April.
Machu Picchu is Peru's top tourist attraction, and as such, it is vitally important that access is restored as quick as possible. There are reports that an alternate access route will be established by the end of February, but it will involve a five hour drive by car just to reach a different train that can deliver the travelers to Aguas Calientes, the nearest town to the fortress. Currently there are also a few companies using helicopters to deliver visitors to the site, but that is an expensive option with limited availability. Fortunately, the Inca ruins were not damaged by the storms, and the monument remains open to those that can make it to the site.
Likewise, the Inca Trail, a popular trekking route to Machu Picchu, suffered little damage as well, but it closes annually in February for crews to clean and repair the route. That work is going on as scheduled but the trail will not reopen until 01st April,
