Strike in Cusco

February 22nd, 2008

The 48-hour strike to protest against a tourism draft law has cut off Cusco from the rest of the country. Main roads have been blocked by the protesters, as well as the railroad to Machu Picchu. The authorities, in order to prevent major damages, have closed the airport until Saturday morning, when it will be operative again (according to Carlos Puga, the vice minister of transportation and communication).
