In response to a growing number of reports by tourists about being robbed by bogus taxi drivers at Lima's Intermational airport, police ran a one day sting operation there to begin to control the problem. The best way to proceed into the city on arrival is to use an authorized taxi or have a representative from the hotel pick you up. In other news, train service to Machu Picchu was suspended Feb. 2 when a mudslide covered 130 feet of track midway between Cuzco and Machu Picchu. It was uncertain when service would resume.
