Cusco, Apr. 04 (ANDINA). Nobel literature prize winner Mario Vargas Llosa arrived Monday to the Regional History Museum Casa Garcilaso in the southeastern Cusco region to appreciate the exhibition of the Lord of Wari treasures, recently discovered in the archaeological complex of Espiritu Pampa in the district of Vilcabamba.
Peruvian writer described the display as interesting and, according to him, the most amazing thing was to know about the expansion of Wari culture (from Ayacucho to the jungle of Cusco). After highlighting that this was a “great discovery”, Vargas Llosa congratulated Cusco’s Culture Regional Directorate and the archaeologists responsible for such find.
The author of The Dream of the Celt was accompanied by his wife Patricia and Vice Minister for Cultural Patrimony Bernardo Roca-Rey, among other people. The local press reported that before his visit to the Casa Garcilaso, Vargas Llosa went to the archaeological site of Choquequirao.
