Jimenez noted that the figure is similar to the one registered in the same period in 2011, which is good because tourists continue visiting Colca, despite weather problems and the economic crisis in some European countries.
Tourists will be able to explore one of the world’s deepest canyons, visit Colonial churches, learn about customs of people who live there and enjoy the landscape during their stay in the valley.
Moreover, he said that in the upcoming weeks the number of tourists will increase as rain season has finished and the high season will start.
The First Wititi Festival – the traditional dance of Colca -kicks off today at 10:00 hours in the district of Majes where 20 dance groups will participate.
