Coronavirus: British tourists stuck in Peru to be rescued next week
The Foreign Office said:"We will continue working closely with the Peruvian government to arrange further flights in coming days.
At that time, the only commercial carrier that had offered to help was charging $3,000-$3,500 for a one-way ticket - almost 10 times the normal price Danielle Cook, 32, and her partner Matthew Houghton, 34, from Yorkshire are among those stuck in Peru. Ms Cook's father died a few days ago. The couple and nine others, including Dutch and Canadian travellers, had gone to Peru to see the mountain Machu Picchu, but they are all now holed up at an Airbnb in Cusco.
