So far, 14 New Zealand tourists have been rescued from the area and flown to Cusco in southeast Peru, a Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade (MFAT) spokeswoman said.
It was not known exactly when the remaining seven would be airlifted out, she said.
"But we're in contact with them and they are safe and well.
"Peruvian authorities are continuing their evacuation efforts and that's been working quite well," she said.
"We're just waiting to hear the news about the rest of them coming out."
Meanwhile, clearing skies has eased the evacuation process of the stranded tourists for local authorities.
By nightfall, helicopters had ferried 1402 people out of the remote village, the closest to the ancient Inca ruins 8000 feet up in the Andes mountains.
Tourism Minister Martin Perez told Lima's RPP radio that only 800 tourists remained in town. Mr Perez said helicopters had evacuated a total of 2542 tourists since Monday.
More than 3000 travellers were trapped in the town for days, strapping resources and testing their patience.
"It's been an adventure, a bit more than we bargained for," Karel Schultz, 46, of Niagara Falls, said as she waited to be flown out.
Authorities said if the weather held, they would be able to evacuate the rest of the tourists - by now all younger travellers - by today (Peru time).
"Right now it is raining heavily in Cusco, be we believe the weather will be better tomorrow to continue evacuations," Mr Perez said.
The Machu Picchu site will remain closed for weeks, until the government can repair highway and railroad tracks washed out by mudslides and the raging Urubamba River.
Dozens of ragged-looking, middle-aged tourists lined up outside the train station, where they waited to make the walk of a few hundred yards to a makeshift helicopter clearing. Younger backpackers played football with locals and lent a hand stacking sandbags and clearing train tracks to pass the time.
The evacuation was being carried out by age, oldest first. People had grown frustrated over chaotic relief efforts, price-gouging and scarce food, but the mood lightened yesterday as the weather cleared, helicopters descended from the skies and soldiers brought order to the evacuation.
When Sunday's mudslides destroyed the railway, the only land transportation into Machu Picchu Pueblo, many hotels and restaurants hiked prices - separating wealthier tourists who could afford to pay extra from those who spent days sleeping in train cars and waiting for delayed food shipments.
Many backpackers who ran out of money when ATMs ran dry slept in the central plaza.
