Flood in Huancavelica, Peru
At 04:00 hours, local time, on 20 January 2014, a landslide occurred over the River Mantaro in the Huancavelica Province of Peru. The landslide and potential mudslides in the area have disrupted transport and it is expected that flooding will follow along riverside villages.
Caused by several days of heavy rain, the landslide occurred in Huayllapampa and the Civil Protection Agency of Peru's initial evaluation estimates that 33 people in the area were affected, 33 houses had collapsed and one railway was affected. 2430 people were considered at risk as well as 1065 houses.
The heavy rain has caused disruption in nearby Cuzco, where several people have died and almost 2000 tourists were stranded at Machu Pichu when the railway was cut off to the Incan tourist destination. It is forecast that 15 of Peru's 25 regions will be affected by the rain, which is expected to end on 21 January.
