Ten people are missing and hundreds of tourists are trapped in Peru after mudslides near the historic ruins of Machu Picchu, authorities said. The mudslides on Saturday morning cut off rail and road links between the Incan site and the city of Cuzco, local officials told Peruvian radio.

At least six houses in the area had been destroyed, they said.

The officials appealed for help, saying the area could not be reached even by helicopter because of bad weather.
