Two trains collided head-on along a rail line leading to Machu Picchu in Peru<\/a> on Tuesday, killing a railroad worker and injuring dozens of others, including U.S. citizens, authorities in Peru said.<\/p>\n

The Associated Press reported that the person who died was a railroad employee, according to Jhonathan Castillo Gonzalez, a captain with the Cuzco police department, who said rail service was suspended along the route connecting Machu Picchu with the nearby city of Cuzco following the crash.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Embassy in Peru said it received reports of a collision between two trains traveling between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes, also known as Machupicchu Pueblo.<\/p>\n

The rail line is the primary transportation corridor for tourists traveling to Machu Picchu, one of South America\u2019s most visited archaeological sites.<\/p>\n

“There are U.S. citizens among the injured in the crash,” the embassy said, adding that Peruvian authorities were dispatching first responders to the crash site.<\/p>\n

The extent of the injuries and the total number of people hurt were not immediately clear. Officials had not released information on what caused the collision as of Tuesday.<\/p>\n

Aguas Calientes, located in a narrow valley along the Urubamba River, serves as the gateway town to Machu Picchu and is accessible primarily by train or hiking routes<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The rail line connects Ollantaytambo<\/a> to Aguas Calientes and runs through mountainous terrain. It is used daily by thousands of tourists, as well as local residents and workers.<\/p>\n

Ollantaytambo, about 45 miles northwest of Cusco, is a major transportation hub in Peru\u2019s Sacred Valley and a common starting point for rail travel to Machu Picchu<\/a>. The area is known for its steep geography, limited road access and heavy reliance on rail transport.<\/p>\n

The U.S. Embassy encouraged anyone in need of assistance following the crash to contact iPeru at +51 944-492-314.<\/p>\n

All rail traffic between Ollantaytambo and Aguas Calientes has been suspended, according to officials.<\/p>\n

Travelers with upcoming rail plans are being advised to contact their rail service provider directly to reschedule trips or inquire about reimbursement options.<\/p>\n

It was not immediately known when service would resume<\/a> or how many passengers were affected by the suspension.<\/p>\n
