Keep eye on Peru going be doozy when Native Peru Indians start riot against the govt that what about it Peru has shuttered its popular Machu Picchu tourist site as the deadly unrest gripping the country for over a month left hundreds of tourists stranded. The Ministry of Culture announced on Saturday the closure of the Inca trails network and the Machu Picchu citadel "due to the social situation and to preserve the safety of visitors" and the general public. Dozens have been killed in anti-government protests which began in Peru in early December following the removal and arrest of leftist former President Pedro Castillo shortly after his attempt to dissolve Congress. The authorities declared a state of emergency in an effort to control the situation. www.dw.com/en/peru-government-shuts-machu-picchu-as-protests-continue/a-64477333
