Floods In Machu Picchu Peru (16 Photos)

About 1,400 tourists have been airlifted from near the Inca ruins of Machu Picchu in Peru following floods that destroyed road and rail links.

A break in the weather allowed the government to send in helicopters, but about 800 tourists are still stranded.

The floods have caused widespread damage and are the worst the country has seen in 15 years.
