UJ #9 - Adventure in Peru

INTERVIEW
“THERE IS A LOT TO
BE DONE NOT ONLY
BY THE MINISTRY
OF CULTURE AND
MINISTRY OF FOREIGN
TRADE AND TOURISM;
REGIONAL AND LOCAL
GOVERNMENTS ARE
ALSO RESPONSIBLE
FOR LAND USE
ASPECTS”
What sections do you think have potential for international
tourism?
Principally the section from Huanucopampa to Huamachuco.
We can see visitors in this zone; not many,
but there are small suppliers offering places to stay, for
example. Trekkers share information on where to stay,
where to eat, etc. It’s a section that attracts Europeans. It
also contains different sites, treks, scenery and people.
There are sites and tourist attractions in the area, such
as Chavin and even Huaraz. It’s a long stretch, but the
idea is to create a macro-itinerary out of the whole section,
and micro-itineraries as components of it.
