Machu Picchu Fail

Bad news for travelers to Machu Picchu this week (I guess it depends on how you look at it though). Heavy rains in Peru have caused widespread mudslides, one of which has blocked the train route from Cuzco to the famous ruins. But not to worry, according to reports, the 2,000 or so who are stuck are going to be airlifted out by the country’s armed forces.

However, don’t you always, at least once, think to yourself when traveling, “I wish I could be stuck here forever”?
