Archeological tourism in Lambayeque and Kuelap Fortress in Amazonas are the main attractions for visitors who have arrived in northern Peru this year, Peru’s tourism information and assistance service (Iperu) reported.
Iperu representative Jose Herrera noted that the tourists have requested information about the location, entrance fees and transportation to the archeological sites in Lambayeque and museums such us the Royal Tombs of Sipan, Brüning, Huaca Rajada and Sican.
Tourists were also interested on the attractions located in surrounding areas such us Amazonas, especially Kuelap Fortress, the sarcophagus of Karajia and Gocta Cataracts, which might be the third world’s highest waterfall.
Iperu Chiclayo provided information to some 6,126 both national and foreign visitors from countries such as Spain, France, United States and Germany between January and November this year, Herrera stated.
Herrera recalled that Iperu assisted 7,315 tourists in 2010 and expects to increase said figure in 2011.
According to Herrera, Iperu started to promote Ventarron archeological complex -which received Franco-Peruvian funds- as it meets the infrastructure conditions to be visited.
