> Heavy El Niño-linked rain caused flooding in Peru on Wednesday, disrupting travel to the ancient Inca citadel of Machu Picchu. Landslides closed roads and homes were flooded in Lima. Authorities ordered the Inca Trail, a major tourist route, closed until Saturday because waterways overflowed and debris accumulated, local media reported.
