Huayna Picchu will be closed from 1-15 April 2016, and Cerro Machu Picchu will be closed from 16-30 April. âThe increasing number of visitors over the past years is taking a toll on the Inca pathways,â said Stuart Whittington, Head of Product at specialist operator Journey Latin America.ww.wanderlust.co.uk. Two parts of Peru's Machu Picchu sanctuary will be temporarily closed to tourists in April 2016, to allow for maintenance work. Huayna Picchu and Cerro Machu Picchu mountains, which flank the iconic Inca site, are popular climbing sites for visitors who want aerial views of the ruins.
