The
mountainous Inca citadel of Machu Picchu in Peru will restart its train
services for the tourists on Saturday after they reached to an agreement to stop
the protests by locals over train services, officials reported to AFP.
Initially the protest halted the train services on Monday, just six weeks after
it was reopened following an eight months lockdown due to the COVID-19.

The protesters
of Machu Picchu and Ollantaytambo were protesting to decrease the train fares
and more frequent trains in between the routes of Cusco and Machu Picchu. They
blocked the tracks which resulted in fights with the cops and the protesters
threatened to occupy the tourist site.

Authorities in the Cusco region said in a statement on Friday
that “social order has been re-established”, reported AFP.

The local protesters said that no long term deal has been
accepted, only the protests had been brought to a stop until next year.

Machu Picchu was announced a World Heritage Site in 1983 by
UNESCO but the coronavirus pandemic had refrained the tourists to visit this
tourist site.
