Full rail service to Machu Picchu re-opens

Subsequent to flood damage in April, a truncated train service to Machu Picchu has been operating from a provisional station in the small village of Piscacucho in the Sacred Valley, while main restoration works progressed on the stretch between Piscacucho and Cusco. World Journeys now reports that repairs to the railway to Machu Picchu will be completely finished by today 25JUN. Accordingly, Peru Rail (the rail operator) has announced that once appropriate operational tests have been successfully completed, they will restore full train services from Cusco to Machu Picchu on 01JUL.
