Machuless

by Iris Herriot

“Peru opens Machu Picchu ruins for one tourist
Japanese tourist waited almost seven months to enter Inca citadel
while trapped in country during coronavirus pandemic”
The Guardian

Makachu Pikachu,
Japanese visitor
Trapped by Corona for
Months in Peru

Tours now a citadel
Unprecedentedly
Touristless. I call that
Worth it, don’t you?
