Peru Brokers Deal to Restore Machu Picchu Bus Service After Blockades

A PCM-brokered truce initiates a transitional bus service under a contingency plan.

Overview

  • Consettur and San Antonio de Torontoy will implement a contingency plan to keep the Hiram Bingham route operating, according to a PCM communiqué.
  • Authorities lifted the strike and reestablished tourist transport, with provincial and district municipalities coordinating security with the PNP and Interior Ministry.
  • During the transition, officials say Consettur is currently moving visitors while Torontoy prepares its fleet transfer and operational integration.
  • The Municipality of Urubamba will publicize the ongoing process to select the permanent operator through a transparent licitation.
  • The government reports no formal notice from New7Wonders or UNESCO about status risks, as regional leaders advance proposals for an autonomous management framework after thousands of tourists were stranded.
