American tourists stranded near Machu Picchu, might not be home by Christmas as protests grip Peru
Fox News
Protesters in Peru have shut down airports, roads and train stations as they demand the release of allegedly corrupt former President Pedro Castillo and immediate elections.
"We have asked the government to help us and establish helicopter flights in order to evacuate the tourists," Baca said. Peter Aitken is a Fox News Digital reporter with a focus on national and global news.
Among the tourists trapped on the mountain are two Chicago police officers, a pregnant couple from Acworth, Georgia, and a Miami-Dade Fire Rescue captain, who told Florida’s Local 10 news that around 200 American citizens remain in the town. Thousands more cannot travel across the country due to protests.
