Lima, Apr. 03. Some 23,000 tourists will travel to the Arequipa region for the Holy Week (Thursday – Sunday), mainly attracted by the Colca Valley, the Head of the Arequipa regional Foreign Trade and Tourism office Alfredo Venero estimated.
The official claimed the number of tourists -expected to arrive in Peru’s Southern region- will increase by 7%, if compared to the same period last year.
The amount of visitors “satisfies” the sector demands and encourages residents to continue promoting the region, touristically speaking, Venero said.
On a national scale, the Arequipa city is the second most visited by Peruvians "when it comes to domestic tourism."
At the same time, most of the national tourists, who are anxious about travelling to Arequipa, come from Lima. Those are followed by residents of Cusco and Puno.
Venero assured the Colca Valley is the most visited site by tourists, who “worship the natural landscape” to be found in the area, where the “flight of the condor” is considered one of its main attractions.
