Peru's President Alan Garcia looks through a window while flying over the flooded areas at Machu Picchu, in Cuzco, January 29, 2010. Hundreds of tourists emerged from a gruelling 45 km (28 mile) trek along Peru's Inca trail on Thursday to find the ancient Machu Picchu ruins cut off by floods and mudslides, and joined the 1,200 or so travellers waiting to be airlifted out.
