Thousands of tourists have reportedly been left stranded in the Peruvian city of Cusco along with hundreds of others in the area around the Inca citadel of Machu Picchu because of anti-government protests. The demonstrations were sparked earlier this month after Pedro Castillo, the center-left president was ousted on Wednesday by lawmakers after he sought to dissolve Congress ahead of an impeachment vote.
