A mudslide and rockslide have swept away key sections of Peru’s Southern Coastal Highway in the Arequipa region.
Climate experts have warned of a stronger-than-usual El Niño this year, raising risk droughts, floods, and heatwaves.
In July, Peru’s government declared a state of emergency for roughly 40% of the country due to the weather pattern.
It’s not clear when the road will reopen.
